| P1115 | Coolant Temperature Sensor Circuit for Coolant Heat Storage System / Intake Air Temperature Circuit |
DESCRIPTION
The intake air temperature sensor senses the intake air temperature. A thermistor built in this sensor changes the resistance value according to the intake air temperature as shown in the illustration. This resistance value of intake air temperature sensor is one of the factors used to decide the fuel injection volume.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
Tech Tips
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
READ VALUE USING GTS (INTAKE AIR TEMPERATURE)
Connect the GTS to the DLC3.
Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the GTS on.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List / Intake Air.
Read the value.

Tech Tips
If there is an open circuit, the GTS indicates -40°C (- 40°F).
If there is a short circuit, the GTS indicates 140°C (284°F) or more.
