Circuit/System Description
- The intake air temperature (IAT) sensor is integrated with the mass air flow (MAF) sensor. The IAT sensor is a variable resistor that measures the temperature of the air when it first enters the induction system. This sensor is also used to calculate ambient air temperature. The engine control module (ECM) supplies 5 volts to the IAT sensor signal circuit and supplies a ground to the low reference circuit.
- The intake air temperature (IAT) sensor 2 is integrated with the boost pressure sensor. The IAT sensor 2 is a variable resistor that measures the temperature of the air after the turbocharger and the charge air cooler, and before it enters the engine intake manifold. The engine control module (ECM) supplies 5 volts to the IAT sensor 2 signal circuit and supplies a ground to the low reference circuit.
