| DTC Code | DTC Name |
|---|---|
| P0110/24 | Intake Air Temperature Circuit |
| P0112/24 | Intake Air Temperature Circuit Low Input |
| P0113/24 | Intake Air Temperature Circuit High Input |
DESCRIPTION
The Intake Air Temperature (IAT) sensor is built into the mass air flow (MAF) meter, and monitors the intake air temperature. The IAT sensor has a built-in thermistor that varies its resistance depending on the temperature of the intake air. When the air temperature is low, the resistance in the thermistor increases. When the temperature is high, the resistance drops. The variations in resistance are communicated to the ECM as changes in voltage (see figure 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 IAT sensor are connected in series. When the resistance value of the IAT sensor changes in accordance with changes in the intake air temperature, the voltage at terminal THA also changes. Based on this signal, the ECM increases the fuel injection volume to improve driveability during cold engine operation.
| DTC No. | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area |
|---|---|---|
| P0110/24 | Open or short in intake air temperature sensor circuit for 0.5 seconds |
|
| P0112/24 | Short in intake air temperature sensor circuit for 0.5 seconds |
|
| P0113/24 | Open in intake air temperature sensor circuit for 0.5 seconds |

Tech Tips
When DTC P0110/24, P0112/24 or P0113/24 is detected, check the intake air temperature by entering the following menus on the intelligent tester: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List / Intake Air.
| Temperature Displayed | Malfunction |
|---|---|
| -40°C (-40°F) | Open circuit |
| 140°C (284°F) or more | Short circuit |
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
The ECM monitors the sensor voltage and uses this value to calculate the IAT. When the sensor output voltage deviates from the normal operating range, the ECM interprets this as a fault in the IAT sensor and sets a DTC.
Example:
When the sensor voltage output is -40°C (-40°F) (P0113/24) or more than 140°C (284°F) (P0112/24) and if either condition continues for 0.5 seconds or more.
This monitor runs for 0.5 seconds after the ignition switch is turned ON (1 trip detection logic).

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 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, if the air-fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.
When using intelligent tester:
PROCEDURE
READ OUTPUT DTC
Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
Turn the ignition switch ON and turn the intelligent tester ON.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / DTC.
Read DTCs.

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 more.
