Manifold Air Temperature (MAT) Sensor

Manifold Air Temperature (MAT) Sensor






NOTE: The MAT sensor is not used on E-Series models.

The PCM receives an intake air temperature from the Manifold Intake Air (MAT) sensor. Based on this signal the PCM adjusts fuel and timing. The sensor is located in the compressor manifold downstream from the intercooler.
