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

Component Inspection

Check IATS

IG "OFF" and disconnect IATS connector.

Measure resistance between terminals 4 and 5 of IATS connector (Component side).

SPECIFICATION:

SPECIFICATION

Temp. (°C/°F)	Resistance (kΩ)	Temp. (°C/°F)	Resistance (kΩ)

Is the measured resistance within specification?
YES
- Go to step 2.
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 ECM
1. IG "OFF" and connect scan tool.
2. Disconnect IATS connector and connect probe to terminal 4 of IATS harness connector.
3. IG "ON" and ENG "OFF" and select the simulation function on scan tool.
4. Simulate voltage at terminal 4 of IATS harness connector.

5. Does the signal value of IAT sensor change 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 ECM and check for proper operation. If the problem is corrected, replace ECM and go to "VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE REPAIR " procedure.
  NOTE: There is a memory reset function on scan tool that can erase optional parts automatically detected and memorized by ECM. Before or after testing ECM on the vehicle, use this function before reusing the ECM.
