DESCRIPTION
The intake air temperature sensor is built into the mass air flow meter and detects 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 higher 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 from 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 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 with a cold engine.

- HINT:
- If DTC P0110, P0112 and/or P0113 is stored, the following symptoms may appear:
- Misfire
- Combustion noise
- Black smoke
- White smoke
- Lack of power
- When DTC P0110, P0112 and/or P0113 is stored, check the intake air temperature by entering the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List / Intake Air.

WIRING DIAGRAM


INSPECTION PROCEDURE
- NOTICE:
- After replacing the ECM, the new ECM needs registration (HILUX_TGN26 RM0000012XK03ZX.html) and initialization (HILUX_TGN26 RM000000TIN04BX.html).
- 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, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.
