ECD SYSTEM (w/o EGR Cooler Bypass Valve), Diagnostic DTC:P0110, P0112, P0113

DTC Code DTC Name
P0110 Intake Air Temperature Circuit
P0112 Intake Air Temperature Circuit Low Input
P0113 Intake Air Temperature Circuit High Input

DESCRIPTION

The intake air temperature (IAT) sensor is built into the mass air flow (MAF) meter and senses the intake air temperature.

A01KI7CE03

A thermistor built in the sensor changes its resistance value according to the IAT.

The lower the IAT, the greater the thermistor resistance value. The higher the IAT, the lower the thermistor resistance value (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.

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 potential at terminal THA also changes. Based on this signal, the ECM increases the fuel injection volume to improve driveability with a cold engine.

Tech Tips

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.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

Tech Tips


  • 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.

Note

If the ECM is replaced, the new ECM needs initialization Click here.

PROCEDURE


  1. READ VALUE USING INTELLIGENT TESTER (INTAKE AIR TEMPERATURE)


    1. Connect an intelligent tester to the DLC3.

    2. Turn the ignition switch ON and turn the tester ON.

    3. Select the following menu items: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List / Intake Air.

    4. Read the value displayed on the tester.

      Standard
      Same as actual Intake Air Temperature (IAT).
      Result
      Temperature Displayed Proceed To
      -40°C (-40°F) A
      140°C (284°F) or higher B
      Same as actual IAT C

      Tech Tips


      • 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 higher.
