DTC P0113: Intake Air Temperature (IAT) Sensor Circuit High Voltage

Wiring Diagram:

Circuit Description
The Intake Air Temperature (IAT) Sensor uses a thermistor to control the signal voltage to the Engine Control Module (ECM). The ECM supplies a 5 volt reference voltage and a ground to the sensor. When the air is cold, the resistance is high; therefore IAT sensor signal voltage will be high. If the intake air is warm, resistance is low; therefore the IAT sensor signal voltage will be low.

Conditions for Setting the DTC
- Ignition ON with the engine running.
- Mass air flow is less than 2047.97 kg/h.
- IAT voltage is higher than 4.97 V.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets
- The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) will illuminate.
- The ECM will record operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fail. This information will be stored in the Freeze Frame and Failure Records buffers.
- A history DTC is stored.

Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
- The MIL will turn OFF at the end of a consecutive validation cycle in which the diagnostic runs without a fault.
- A history DTC will clear after 40 warm up cycles without a fault.
- DTC(s) can be cleared by using the scan tool.

Diagnostic Aids
- If the vehicle is at ambient temperature, compare the IAT sensor to the Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor. The IAT sensor and the ECT sensor should be relatively close to each other.
- Use the temperature vs. Resistance Values table to evaluate the possibility of a skewed sensor. Refer to Engine Controls Description.
