Diagnostic Fault Information
Typical Scan Tool Data
Circuit/System Description
The intake air temperature (IAT) sensor 1 is a variable resistor that measures the temperature of the air in the sensor bore. The engine control module (ECM) supplies 5 V to the IAT sensor 1 signal circuit and a ground for the IAT sensor 1 low reference circuit. The signal varies with inlet air temperature and is displayed by the scan tool as °C (°F).
The multifunction intake air sensor houses the following:
* IAT sensor 1
* IAT sensor 2
* Humidity sensor
* Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor
* BARO pressure sensor
Conditions for Running the DTCs
P0112, P0113, and P0114
* The ignition is ON, or the engine is running.
* The DTCs run continuously when the above conditions are met.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
P0112
Note: The scan tool display range is between -40 and +150°C (-40 and +302°F).
The ECM detects that the IAT sensor signal is warmer than 150°C (302°F) for at least 5 s.
P0113
Note: The scan tool display range is between -40 and +150°C (-40 and +302°F).
The ECM detects that the IAT sensor signal is colder than -60°C (-76°F) for at least 5 s.
P0114
The ECM monitors the IAT sensor signal every 0.1 s, to determine if the signal has changed more than 80°C (176°F). The DTC fails when the condition exists for longer than 4 s.
Action Taken When the DTCs Set
* DTCs P0112, P0113, and P0114 are Type B DTCs.
* The ECM commands the cooling fans ON.
Conditions for Clearing the DTCs
DTCs P0112, P0113, and P0114 are Type B DTCs.
Diagnostic Aids
* With the ignition ON, the engine OFF, if the engine is cold, a properly functioning IAT sensor 1 will gradually increase the scan tool IAT Sensor 1 parameter. This is due to the heat that is generated by the MAF sensor heating elements.
* Depending on the ambient temperature, an IAT sensor 1 signal circuit or low reference circuit that is shorted to the MAF sensor signal circuit can cause a DTC P0113 and/or P0114 to set. This condition causes a rapid fluctuation in the IAT Sensor 1 parameter.
* An IAT sensor 1 signal circuit that is shorted to the MAF sensor ignition circuit can cause a DTC P0113 and/or P0114 to set.
* A MAF sensor ground circuit that is open will cause a DTC P0113 and/or a DTC P0114 to set.

Circuit/System Verification
1. Engine running, observe the scan tool IAT Sensor 1 parameter. The reading should be between -40 and +149°C (-40 and +300°F) depending on the current ambient temperature and the vehicle operating conditions.
2. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC to verify that the DTC does not reset. 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 B75C multifunction intake air sensor.
2. Ignition OFF, all vehicle systems OFF, this may take up to 2 minutes, test for less than 5 ohms between the low reference circuit terminal 3 and ground.
• If greater than the specified range, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance or for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 engine control module.
3. Ignition ON, verify the scan tool IAT Sensor 1 parameter is colder than -39°C (-38°F).
• If warmer than the specified range, test the signal circuit terminal 1 for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 engine control module.
Note: If the fuse in the jumper wire opens, the signal circuit is shorted to voltage and the sensor may be damaged.
4. Install a 3 A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal 1 and ground. Verify the scan tool IAT Sensor 1 parameter is warmer than 149°C (300°F).
• If colder 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 B75C multifunction intake air sensor.
Component Testing
Measure and record the resistance of the IAT sensor 1 at various ambient temperatures, then compare those measurements to the Temperature Versus Resistance - Intake Air Temperature Sensor (Hitatchi Sensor) Temperature Versus Resistance - Intake Air Temperature Sensor (Hitatchi Sensor) table.
