DESCRIPTION
The intake air temperature sensor is built into the Mass Air Flow (MAF) meter and senses the intake air temperature.
A thermistor built into 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.
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
- After replacing the ECM, the new ECM needs registration () and initialization ().
If DTCs relating to different systems are stored, and they share terminal E2 as their ground, check this ground circuit first.
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, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.
1.READ VALUE USING INTELLIGENT TESTER (INTAKE AIR TEMPERATURE) |
Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the tester on.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Data List / Intake Air.
Read the value.
- OK:
- Same as actual intake air temperature.
ResultResult | Proceed to |
-40°C (-40°F) | A |
140°C (284°F) or higher | B |
OK (same as actual intake air temperature) | C |
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.
