DTC P0113 Intake Air Temperature Circuit High Input
Description
The Intake Air Temperature (IAT) sensor, mounted on the Mass Air Flow (MAF) meter, monitors the IAT. The IAT sensor has a built-in thermistor with a resistance that varies according to the temperature of the intake air. When the IAT is low, the resistance of the thermistor increases. When the temperature is high, the resistance drops. These variations in resistance are transmitted to the ECM as voltage changes (See Fig. 1). The IAT sensor is powered by a 5 V supply from the THA terminal of the ECM, via resistor R. Resistor R and the IAT sensor are connected in series. When the resistance value of the IAT sensor changes, according to changes in the IAT, the voltage at terminal THA also varies. Based on this signal, the ECM increases the fuel injection volume when the engine is cold to improve driveability.HINT:
When any of DTCs P0110, P0112 and P0113 is stored, the ECM enters fail-safe mode. During fail-safe mode, the IAT is estimated to be 20°C (68°F) by the ECM. Fail-safe mode continues until a pass condition is detected.

When any of these DTCs are output, check the IAT by entering the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / All Data / Intake Air.
Temperature Displayed Malfunction -40°C (-40°F) Open circuit 140°C (284°F) or higher Short circuitMonitor description
The ECM monitors the sensor voltage and uses this value to calculate the IAT. When the sensor output voltage deviates from the normal operating range, the ECM interprets this as a malfunction in the IAT sensor and stores a DTC. Example: If the sensor output voltage is higher than 4.91 V for 0.5 seconds or more, the ECM determines that there is an open in the IAT sensor circuit, and stores DTC P0113. Conversely, if the output voltage is below 0.18 V for 0.5 seconds or more, the ECM determines that there is a short in the sensor circuit, and stores DTC P0112. If the malfunction is not repaired successfully, a DTC is stored 0.5 seconds after the engine is next started.

Inspection procedure
HINT:
Read freeze frame data using the intelligent tester. Freeze frame data records the engine condition when malfunctions are detected. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air-fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.
