DTC P0111: IAT Sensor Circuit Range/Performance Problem

  1. Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the ECT sensor and the IAT sensor.

    Are the connections and terminals OK? 

    YES  - Go to step 2.

    NO  - Repair the connectors or terminals, then go to step  15.

  2. Remove the IAT sensor (see KNOCK SENSOR REPLACEMENT  ).
  3. Allow IAT sensor to cool to 77°F (25°C) ambient temperature.
  4. Note the outside ambient temperature.
  5. Connect the IAT sensor to the 2P connector, but do not install them in the intake air duct.
  6. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).
  7. Note the value of IAT SENSOR quickly in the DATA LIST with the HDS.
  8. Compare the value of IAT SENSOR and the outside ambient temperature.

    Does the value of IAT SENSOR differ 5.4°F (3°C) or more? 

    YES  - Go to step  13.

    NO  - Go to step 9.

  9. Disconnect the IAT sensor from the 2P connector.
  10. Blow hot air on the IAT sensor with a heat gun.
  11. Connect IAT sensor to the 2P connector, but do not install them in the intake air duct.
  12. Check the IAT SENSOR in the DATA LIST with the HDS.

    Does the IAT SENSOR change 58°F (32°C) or more? 

    YES  - Intermittent failure, system is OK at this time. Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the IAT sensor and the PCM.

    NO  - Go to step 13.

  13. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
  14. Replace the IAT sensor (see KNOCK SENSOR REPLACEMENT  ).
  15. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).
  16. Reset the PCM with the HDS.
  17. Do the PCM idle learn procedure (see PCM IDLE LEARN PROCEDURE ).
  18. Check for Temporary DTCs or DTCs with the HDS.

    Are any Temporary DTCs or DTCs indicated? 

    YES  - If DTC P0111 is indicated, check for poor connections or loose terminals at the IAT sensor and the PCM, then go to step  1. If any other Temporary DTCs or DTCs are indicated, go to the indicated DTC'S TROUBLESHOOTING .

    NO  - Troubleshooting is complete.
