DESCRIPTION
The diesel turbo Intake Air Temperature (IAT) sensor is built into the charge air cooler and senses the IAT. A built-in thermistor 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 sensor is connected to the ECM. The 5 V power source voltage in the ECM is applied to the sensor from terminal THIA via resistor R. Resistor R and the sensor are connected in series. When the resistance value of the sensor changes in accordance with changes in the IAT, the potential at terminal THIA also changes. Based on this signal, the ECM corrects the fuel injection volume to improve driveability with a cold engine.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
- ПРИМЕЧАНИЕ:
- After replacing the ECM, the new ECM needs registration (see page RAV4_ACA30 RM000000TJ400AX.html) and initialization (see page RAV4_ACA30 RM000000TIN009X.html).
- УКАЗАНИЕ:
- 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 DIESEL TURBO INLET AIR TEMPERATURE SENSOR |
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 Temp (Turbo).
Read the value.
- Standard value:
- Same value as the actual intake 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 to intake manifold) C
- УКАЗАНИЕ:
- 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.
