DESCRIPTION
- The Intake Air Temperature (IAT) sensor is built into the Mass Air Flow (MAF) meter and monitors the intake air temperature. The IAT sensor has a built-in 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 temperature is high, the resistance drops. The variations in resistance are communicated to the ECM as changes 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 intake air temperature, the voltage at terminal THA also changes. Based on this signal, the ECM increases the fuel injection volume to improve driveability during cold engine operation.
DTC No.

MONITOR 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 fault in the IAT sensor and sets a DTC.Example:When the ECM calculates that the ECT is -40°C (-40°F) (P0113) or more than 120°C (248°F) (P0112) and that either condition continues for 0.5 seconds or more, the ECM will set a DTC.This monitor runs for 0.5 seconds after the ignition switch is turned ON (1 trip detection logic).If the malfunction is not repaired successfully, a DTC is set 0.5 seconds after the next time the engine is started.

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, if the air-fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.
Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
Turn the ignition switch ON and turn the tester ON.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / DTC.
Read DTCs.
