The Intake Air Temperature (IAT) sensor, mounted on the Mass Air Flow (MAF) meter, monitors the IAT The IAT sensor has a built-in thermistor with a resistance that varies according to the temperature of the intake air. When the IAT is low, the resistance of the thermistor increases When the temperature is high, the resistance drops These variations in resistance are transmitted to the ECM as voltage changes (See Fig 1).

The IAT sensor is powered by a 5 V supply from the THA and THA2 terminals of the ECM, via resistor R Resistor R and the IAT sensor are connected in series. When the resistance value of the IAT sensor changes, according to changes in the IAT, the voltage at terminal THA and THA2 also varies. Based on this signal, the ECM increases the fuel injection volume when the engine is cold to improve drivability

When DTC P0097, P0098, P0112 or P0113 is set, the ECM enters fail-safe mode. During fail-safe mode, the IAT is estimated to be 20°C (68°F) by the ECM Fail-safe mode continues until a pass condition is detected.
