Diagnostic Fault Information
Typical Scan Tool Data
Circuit/System Description
The intake air temperature (IAT) sensor is a variable resistor that measures the temperature of the air in the sensor bore. The IAT is integrated with the mass air flow (MAF) sensor. The engine control module (ECM) supplies 5 V to the IAT sensor signal circuit and a ground for the IAT sensor low reference circuit. The signal varies with inlet air temperature and is displayed by the scan tool as °C (°F).
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
The ECM detects that the IAT sensor signal is warmer than 149°C (300°F) for at least 5 s.
P0113
The ECM detects that the IAT sensor signal is colder than -60°C (-76°F) for at least 5 s.
Note:
The scan tool display range is between -40 and +150°C (-40 and +302°F).
P0114
The ECM detects that the IAT sensor signal is intermittent or has abruptly changed for at least 5 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
* Certain resistance conditions with IAT or ECT sensors may cause unwarranted cooling fan activation. If the ECM is commanding the cooling fans ON for no apparent reason and without any component or system DTCs set, the IAT or ECT sensor may be skewed. Refer to Temperature Versus Resistance - Intake Air Temperature Sensor (Hitachi Sensor) Temperature Versus Resistance - Intake Air Temperature Sensor (Hitachi Sensor) or Temperature Versus Resistance Temperature Versus Resistance tables, if this condition is suspected.
* With the ignition ON, the engine OFF, if the engine is cold, a properly functioning IAT sensor will gradually increase the scan tool IAT Sensor parameter. This is due to the heat that is generated by the MAF sensor heating elements.
* Depending on the ambient temperature, an IAT sensor 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 parameter.
* An IAT sensor 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 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 B75B mass air flow, intake air temperature sensor.
2. Ignition OFF, all systems OFF. It may take up to for 2 minutes for all vehicle systems to power down. Test for less than 5 ohms between the low reference circuit terminal D 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 ECM.
3. Ignition OFF, all vehicle systems OFF, test for less than 5 ohms between the ground circuit terminal B and ground.
• If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
4. Ignition ON, verify the scan tool IAT Sensor parameter is colder than -39°C (-38°F).
• If warmer than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 ECM.
Note:
If the fuse in the jumper wire opens, the signal circuit is shorted to a voltage the ECM or the sensor may be damaged.
5. Install a 3 A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal E and ground. Verify the scan tool IAT Sensor 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 ECM.
6. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the B75B mass air flow, intake air temperature sensor.
Component Testing
1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the B75B mass air flow, intake air temperature 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 - Intake Air Temperature Sensor (Hitachi Sensor) Temperature Versus Resistance - Intake Air Temperature Sensor (Hitachi Sensor) table. The resistance values should be in range of the table values.
• If not within the specified range, replace the B75B mass air flow, intake air temperature sensor.
