April 5, 2026: LEMON Manuals is launched! Read the announcement.

Component Inspection

Check IATS

Ignition "OFF"
Disconnect IATS connector.

Measure resistance between terminal 5 and 3 of IAT connector (Component side).

Specification: (error range is 2~3%.)

Is the measured resistance within specifications ?
Yes
- Go to "Check PCM" as below.
NO
- Substitute with a known - good IATS and check for proper operation.
  If the problem is corrected, replace IATS and go to "VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE REPAIR " procedure.

Check PCM
1. Ignition "OFF"
2. Connect scantool and Ignition "ON"
3. Select simulation function on scantool.
4. Simulate voltage at terminal 5 of IAT sensor signal connector.

5. Does the signal value of IAT sensor changes according to simulation voltage ?
  Yes
  - Thoroughly check connectors for looseness, poor connection, bending, corrosion, contamination, deterioration, or damage.Repair or replace as necessary and go to "VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE REPAIR " procedure.
  NO
  - Substitute with a known - good PCM and check for proper operation.
    If the problem is corrected, replace PCM and go to "VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE REPAIR " procedure.
