Air Temperature Sensor ( Ambient / Intake ): Testing and Inspection
INTAKE AIR TEMPERATURE (IAT) SENSOR INSPECTIONResistance Inspection
NOTE: Perform the following inspection only when directed.
1. Disconnect MAF/IAT sensor.
2. Measure the resistance between the MAF/IAT sensor terminals D and E using an ohmmeter.
- If not as specified, replace the MAF/IAT sensor.
- If the MAF/IAT sensor is okay, but PID are out of specification, perform the "Circuit Open/Short Inspection".
Circuit Open/Short Inspection
1. Disconnect the PCM connector.
2. Inspect the following wiring harnesses for open or short. (Continuity check)
Open circuit
- If there is no continuity, the circuit is open. Repair or replace the harness.
- MAF/IAT sensor terminal D (harness-side) and PCM terminal 2E (harness-side)
- MAF/IAT sensor terminal E (harness-side) and PCM terminal 2H (harness-side)
Short circuit
- If there is continuity, the circuit is shorted. Repair or replace the harness.
- MAF/IAT sensor terminal E (harness-side) and power supply
- MAF/IAT sensor terminal D (harness-side) and power supply
- MAF/IAT sensor terminal D (harness-side) and body GND
