Circuit/System Testing
NOTE:
You must perform the Circuit/System Verification before proceeding with Circuit/System Testing.
- Ignition OFF and all vehicle systems OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the Intake Air Temperature Sensor. It may take up to 2 minutes for all vehicle systems to power down.
- Test for less than 10 Ω between the low reference circuit terminal 6 and ground.
- If 10 Ω or greater
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the Engine Control Module.
- Test for less than 2 Ω in the low reference circuit end to end.
- If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
- If less than 2 Ω, replace the Engine Control Module.
- Go to next step: If less than 10 Ω
- Ignition ON.
- Verify the scan tool IAT Sensor parameter is at -40°C (-40°F).
- If warmer than -40°C (-40°F)
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the Engine Control Module.
- Test for infinite resistance between the signal circuit terminal 5 and ground.
- If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
- If infinite resistance, replace the Engine Control Module.
- Go to next step: If -40°C (-40°F)
- Install a 1 A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal 5 and ground.
- Verify the scan tool IAT Sensor parameter is at 150°C (302°F).
- If colder than 150°C (302°F).
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the Engine Control Module, ignition ON.
- Test for less than 1 V between the signal circuit terminal 5 and ground.
- If 1 V or greater, repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
- If less than 1 V
- Ignition OFF
- Test for less than 2 Ω in the signal circuit end to end.
- If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
- If less than 2 Ω, replace the Engine Control Module.
- Go to next step: If 150°C (302°F)
- Test or replace the Intake Air Temperature Sensor.
CAUTION:
If the fuse in the jumper wire opens, the signal circuit may have a short to a voltage or a short to ground and the sensor might be damaged.
