Diagnostic Fault Information






Typical Scan Tool Data






Circuit/System Description

The intake air temperature (IAT) sensor is a variable resistor. The IAT sensor has a signal circuit and a low reference circuit. The IAT sensor measures the temperature of the air entering the engine. The engine control module (ECM) supplies 5 V to the IAT signal circuit, and a ground for the IAT low reference circuit.

Conditions for Running the DTC

P0112 and P0113
* The ignition is ON, or the engine is running.
* The battery voltage is greater than 9 V.

P0114
* DTC P0112, or P0113 is not set.
* The ignition is ON, or the engine is running.
* The battery voltage is greater than 9 V.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

P0112

The ECM detects that the IAT sensor voltage is less than 0.15 V for greater than 0.1 s.

P0113

The ECM detects that the IAT sensor voltage is more than 4.85 V for greater than 0.1 s.

P0114

The ECM detects that the IAT sensor signal has abruptly changed a minimum of 10°C (18°F) warmer or colder for greater than 2 s.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

DTCs P0112, P0113 and P0114 are Type B DTCs.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

DTCs P0112, P0113 and P0114 are Type B DTCs.

Circuit/System Verification

1. If the ignition has been OFF for 8 h or greater, the IAT, the ambient air temperature, and the engine coolant temperature (ECT) should be within 9°C (16°F) of each other. Ignition ON, observe the scan tool IAT Sensor, Ambient Air Temperature, and the ECT Sensor 1 parameters. Compare those sensor parameters to each other to determine if the condition is current.
2. Engine running, observe the scan tool IAT Sensor parameter. The reading should be between -40 to +140°C (-34 to +284°F) depending on the current ambient temperature and the vehicle operating conditions.
3. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records data.

Circuit/System Testing

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the B75B Mass Air Flow/Intake Air Temperature Sensor.
2. Ignition OFF for 90 s, test for less than 5 ohm between the low reference circuit terminal 1 and ground.

If greater than the specified range, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 Engine Control Module.

3. Ignition ON, verify the scan tool IAT Sensor is at -40°C (-40°F).

If warmer than the specified range, test the signal circuit terminal 3 for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 Engine Control Module.

Caution: If the fuse in the jumper wire opens, the signal circuit may have a short to a voltage or a short to ground and the sensor might be damaged.

4. Install a 3 A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal 3 and ground. Verify the scan tool IAT Sensor is at 140°C (284°F).

If less than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 Engine Control Module.

5. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the B75B Mass Air Flow/Intake Air Temperature Sensor.

Component Testing

Static Test

Measure and record the resistance of the B75B Mass Air Flow/Intake Air Temperature Sensor at various ambient temperatures, then compare those measurements to the Temperature Versus Resistance (IAT) Temperature Versus Resistance (IAT) table.
