Intake Air Temperature (IAT) Sensor

  1. A malfunction in the intake air temperature sensor circuit will set a related DTC. For testing procedures, see TESTS W/CODES - 1.6L article. An out-of-calibration IAT sensor may not set a DTC. Use following procedure to test sensor calibration.
  2. Remove intake air temperature sensor. See INTAKE AIR TEMPERATURE (IAT) SENSOR LOCATION  table. Using ohmmeter, measure resistance of intake air temperature sensor at designated temperatures. Replace IAT sensor if resistance is not within specification. See INTAKE AIR TEMPERATURE (IAT) SENSOR RESISTANCE  table.
