DESCRIPTION

B00426XE01

*1 Resistance kΩ
*2 Acceptable
*3 Temperature °C (°F)

The Intake Air Temperature (IAT) sensor is mounted on the charge air cooler duct and monitors the intake air temperature.

A built-in thermistor in the sensor changes its resistance value according to the intake air temperature.

The lower the intake air temperature, the greater 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 powered by a 5 V supply from the THIA terminal of the ECM via resistor R. Resistor R and the sensor are connected in series. When the resistance value of the sensor changes in accordance with changes in the intake air temperature, the potential at terminal THIA also changes. Based on this signal, the ECM corrects the fuel injection volume to improve drivability with a cold engine.

Tech Tips


  • If DTC P007C or P007D is stored, the following symptoms may appear:


    • Misfire

    • Combustion noise

    • Black smoke

    • White smoke

    • Lack of power

  • When DTC P007C or P007D is stored, check the intake air temperature by entering the following menus on the GTS: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List / Intake Air Temp (Turbo).

Tech Tips


  • When the ECM must be replaced, before replacing the ECM, perform the "Learning Values Save" function using the GTS. Then after installing a new ECM, perform all of the initialization and registration procedures 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).


      Powertrain > Engine and ECT > Data List
      Tester Display
      Intake Air Temp (Turbo)

    4. Read the value.

      OK

      Tech Tips


      • If there is an open circuit, the GTS indicates -30°C (-22°F) or less.

      • If there is a short circuit, the GTS indicates 150°C (302°F) or higher.
