DTC P0110 Intake Air Temperature Circuit
DTC P0112 Intake Air Temperature Circuit Low Input
DTC P0113 Intake Air Temperature Circuit High Input
Description
The intake air temperature sensor is built into the mass air flow meter and senses the intake air temperature.
A thermistor built in the sensor changes its resistance value according to the intake air temperature.
The lower the intake air temperature, the greater the thermistor resistance value. The higher the intake air temperature, the lower the thermistor resistance value (see Fig. 1).
The intake air temperature sensor is connected to the ECM.
The 5 V power source voltage in the ECM is applied to the intake air temperature sensor from terminal THA via resistor R.
The resistor R and the intake air temperature sensor are connected in series. When the resistance value of the intake air temperature sensor changes in accordance with changes in the intake air temperature, the potential at terminal THA also changes. Based on this signal, the ECM increases the fuel injection volume to improve driveability with a cold engine.

Inspection procedure
NOTICE:
After replacing the ECM, the new ECM needs registration and initialization.
HINT:
If DTCs relating to different systems are output, and they share terminal E2 as their ground, check this ground circuit first.
1.READ VALUE OF MASS AIR FLOW METER |
-
Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
-
Turn the ignition switch on (IG) and turn the tester ON.
-
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List / Intake Air.
-
Read the value.
Standard value:
Same value as the actual air temperature.
Result:Temperature Displayed Proceed to -40°C (-40°F) A 140°C (284°F) or more B OK (same as air temperature near intake manifold) C HINT:
- If there is an open circuit, the tester indicates -40°C (-40°F).
- If there is a short circuit, the tester indicates 140°C (284°F) or more.
