DESCRIPTION
The Intake Air Temperature (IAT) sensor, built into the Mass Air Flow (MAF) meter, monitors the IAT. The IAT sensor has a thermistor that varies its resistance depending on the temperature of the intake air. When the air temperature is low, the resistance in the thermistor increases. When the air temperature is high, the resistance decreases. The variations in resistance are communicated to the ECM as change in voltage (see Fig. 1). The IAT sensor is connected to the ECM. The 5 V power source voltage in the ECM is applied to the IAT sensor from terminal THA via resistor R.The resistor R and the IAT sensor are connected in series. When the resistance value of the IAT sensor changes in accordance with changes in the IAT, the voltage at terminal THA also changes. Based on this signal, the ECM increases the fuel injection volume to improve the driveability during cold engine operation.

The Intake Air Temperature (IAT) sensor, mounted on the air cleaner hose, monitors the IAT.

DTC No. | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area |
P0110 | Open or short in IAT sensor circuit for 0.5 seconds (1 trip detection logic) |
|
P0112 | Short in IAT sensor circuit for 0.5 seconds (1 trip detection logic) |
|
P0113 | Open in IAT sensor circuit for 0.5 seconds (1 trip detection logic) |

- HINT:
- When DTC P0110, P0112 or P0113 is detected, check the intake air temperature by entering the following menus on the intelligent tester: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List / Intake Air.
Temperature Displayed | Malfunction |
-40°C (-40°F) | Open circuit |
140°C (284°F) or more | Short circuit |

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
- HINT:
- If DTCs related to different systems that have terminal E2 as the ground terminal are output simultaneously, terminal E2 may have an open circuit.
- Read freeze frame data using the intelligent tester. Freeze frame data records the engine conditions when a malfunction is detected. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was running or stopped, if the engine was warmed up or not, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.
- NOTICE:
- If the ECM is replaced, the new ECM needs initialization (Toyota Fortuner RM000000TIN04NX.html).

- Result:
Temperature Displayed Proceed to -40°C (-40°F) A 140°C (284°F) or more B Same as air temperature near to intake manifold C
- HINT:
- If there is an open circuit, the intelligent tester indicates -40°C (-40°F).
- If there is a short circuit, the intelligent tester indicates 140°C (284°F) or more.
