Test Description

The number below refers to the step number on the diagnostic table.

  1. 6:  This step tests for the proper operation of the circuit in the low voltage range.
DTC P0113

Step Action Values Yes No
Schematic Reference: Engine Controls Schematics
Connector End View Reference: Engine Controls Connector End Views or Powertrain Control Module (PCM) Connector End Views
1 Did you perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle? - Go to Step 2  Go to Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle in Vehicle DTC Information
2
  1. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
  2. Observe the intake air temperature (IAT) sensor parameter with a scan tool.
Is the IAT sensor parameter less than the specified value?		 -38°C (-36°F) Go to Step 4  Go to Step 3 
3
  1. Observe the Freeze Frame/Failure Records for this DTC.
  2. Turn OFF the ignition for 30 seconds.
  3. Start the engine.
  4. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records.
Did the DTC fail this ignition?		 - Go to Step 4  Go to Intermittent Conditions
4
  1. Disconnect the IAT sensor.
  2. Connect a DMM between the signal circuit of the IAT sensor and a good ground. Refer to Circuit Testing in Wiring Systems.
Is the voltage more than the specified value?		 5.2 V Go to Step 5  Go to Step 6 
5
IMPORTANT: The sensor may be damaged if the circuit is shorted to a voltage source.
Test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.Did you find and correct the condition?		 - Go to Step 15  Go to Step 12 
6 
  1. Connect a 3-amp fused jumper wire between the signal circuit of the IAT sensor and the low reference circuit at the IAT sensor. Refer to Using Fused Jumper Wires in Wiring Systems.
  2. Observe the IAT sensor parameter with a scan tool.
Is the IAT sensor parameter more than the specified value?		 128°C (262°F) Go to Step 10  Go to Step 7 
7
  1. Connect a 3-amp fused jumper wire between the signal circuit of the IAT sensor and a good ground. Refer to Using Fused Jumper Wires in Wiring Systems.
  2. Observe the IAT sensor parameter with a scan tool.
Is the IAT sensor parameter more than the specified value?		 128°C (262°F) Go to Step 9  Go to Step 8 
8 Test the signal circuit of the IAT sensor for an open circuit or high resistance. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.
Did you find and correct the condition?		 - Go to Step 15  Go to Step 12 
9 Test the IAT sensor low reference circuit for high resistance or an open. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.
Did you find and correct the condition?		 - Go to Step 15  Go to Step 12 
10 Test the IAT signal circuit for a short to any 5-volt reference circuit. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.
Did you find and correct the condition?		 - Go to Step 15  Go to Step 11 
11
IMPORTANT: The sensor may be damaged if the circuit is shorted to a voltage source.
Test for an intermittent and for a poor connection at the IAT sensor. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems.Did you find and correct the condition?		 - Go to Step 15  Go to Step 13 
12 Test for an intermittent and for a poor connection at the powertrain control module (PCM). Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems.
Did you find and correct the condition?		 - Go to Step 15  Go to Step 14 
13 Replace the IAT sensor. Refer to Intake Air Temperature (IAT) Sensor Replacement .
Did you complete the replacement?		 - Go to Step 15  -
14 Replace the PCM. Refer to Control Module References in Computer/Integrating Systems for replacement, setup, and programming.
Did you complete the replacement?		 - Go to Step 15  -
15
  1. Clear the DTCs with a scan tool.
  2. Turn OFF the ignition for 30 seconds.
  3. Start the engine.
  4. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records.
Did the DTC fail this ignition?		 - Go to Step 2  Go to Step 16 
16 Observe the Capture Info with a scan tool.
Are there any DTCs that have not been diagnosed?		 - Go to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle in Vehicle DTC Information System OK
