- Intake Air Temperature (IAT) Sensor Circuit Intermittent

Diagnostic Fault Information





Typical Scan Tool Data





Circuit Description

The intake air temperature (IAT) sensor is an integral part of the mass air flow (MAF) sensor. The intake air temperature (IAT) sensor is a variable resistor that measures the temperature of the air entering the engine. The IAT sensor has a signal circuit and a low reference circuit. The engine control module (ECM) supplies 5 volts to the IAT signal circuit and a ground for the IAT low reference circuit.

The following table illustrates the difference between temperature, resistance, and voltage:





Conditions for Running the DTC

* The engine is running.
* The DTC runs continuously once the above condition is met.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The ECM detects that the IAT sensor signal varies greater than 10°C (18°F) between each consecutive sample for greater than 20 seconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

DTC P0114 is a Type B DTC.

Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC

DTC P0114 is a Type B DTC.

Circuit/System Verification

1. Engine idling, observe the diagnostic trouble code (DTC) information with a scan tool. DTCs P0112 or P0113 should not be set.

• If a DTC is set, refer to DTC P0112 or P0113 (P0112) for further diagnosis.

2. Engine idling, observe the scan tool IAT Sensor parameter while moving the related wiring harness and harness connectors. The reading should not change abruptly.

• If the reading changes abruptly, repair the wiring harness or the harness connectors.

3. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the MAF/IAT sensor.

Component Testing

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the MAF/IAT sensor.

Note: A thermometer can be used to test the sensor off the vehicle.

2. Test the IAT sensor by varying the sensor temperature while monitoring the sensor resistance. Compare the readings with the Temperature Versus Resistance (Temperature Versus Resistance) table and verify that the resistance is within 5 percent of the specification.

• If not within the specified range, replace the MAF/IAT sensor.

Repair Instructions

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification (Verification Tests) after completing the diagnostic procedure.

* Mass Airflow Sensor with Intake Air Temperature Sensor Replacement (Service and Repair)
* Control Module References (Programming and Relearning) for ECM replacement, setup, and programming.
