DESCRIPTION

The intake air temperature sensor is located on the charge-air pipe between the intercooler assembly and the throttle valve. The intake air temperature sensor detects the temperature of the intake air compressed by the turbocharger and cooled by the intercooler assembly.

A temperature-dependent electrical resistor is used for temperature sensing. The circuit contains a voltage divider where the resistance can be measured depending on the temperature. A temperature is converted using a characteristic curve specific to the sensor. An NTC resistor (NTC) is installed in the intake air temperature sensor, whose resistance value drops when the temperature increases. The resistance changes between 76 kΩ and 88 Ω depending on the temperature, which corresponds to a temperature between -40°C (-40°F) and 120°C (248°F).

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

Note

When replacing the ECM, the ECM needs Registration and Initialization Click here.

Tech Tips


  • When the ECM must be replaced, before replacing the ECM, perform the "Learning Values Save" function using the GTS. Then after installing the new ECM, perform all of the initialization/registrations for the "Learning Values Write" function by following the instructions shown on the GTS display.

  • Read freeze frame data using the GTS. 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.

PROCEDURE


  1. READ VALUE USING GTS (INTAKE AIR TEMP (TURBO))


    1. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

    2. Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the GTS on.

    3. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List / Intake Air Temp (Turbo).

    4. Read the value.

      OK
      Same as actual intake air temperature.

      -40°C (-40°F) or less A
      120°C (248°F) or more B
      Same as actual intake air temperature C

      Tech Tips


      • If there is an open circuit, the GTS indicates -40°C (-40°F) or less.

      • If there is a short circuit, the GTS indicates 120°C (248°F) or more.
