If indication jumps to approx. -40° C or -46° C:

-- End diagnosis and switch ignition off.

-- Replace the Intake Air Temperature (IAT) Sensor -G42 -. Refer to appropriate service information.

If the indication remains at approx. 140° C:

Checking wiring 

If the manufacturers test box is being used, perform the following step.

-- Install the test box.

If the manufacturers test box is not being used, perform the following step.

-- Remove the Engine Control Module (ECM) -J623-. Refer to appropriate service information.

-- Using a Multimeter --, check the Intake Air Temperature (IAT) Sensor -G42 - electrical harness connector terminals to the Engine Control Module (ECM) -J623- electrical harness connector T60 terminals for resistance.

Specified value: 1.5 Ω Max.

If the specification was not obtained:

-- Check the wiring for an open circuit, a short circuit to Battery (+), or an open circuit.

-- Check the electrical harness connector for damage, corrosion, loose or broken terminals.

-- If necessary, repair the faulty wiring connection.

If no malfunction is detected in the wiring:

-- Erase the DTC memory. Refer to DIAGNOSTIC MODE 04 - ERASE DTC MEMORY .

-- Perform a road test to verify repair.

If the DTC does not return:

Generate readiness code. Refer to READINESS CODE .

If the DTC does return and no malfunction is detected in the wiring and the voltage supply was not OK:

-- Replace the Engine Control Module (ECM) -J623-. Refer to appropriate service information.
