Intake Air Temperature Sensor

  1. Remove air cleaner cover and place thermometer near sensor. Using a heat lamp, heat intake air temperature sensor and observe temperature on thermometer. Using an ohmmeter, check resistance between terminals "THA" and "E2". See INTAKE AIR TEMPERATURE SENSOR SPECIFICATIONS  table.
  2. If readings are not within specifications, replace airflow meter assembly. If readings are correct, check wiring harness for short or open circuits.
