Circuit/System Verification
- If the ignition has been OFF for 8 hours or greater, the IAT, the IAT 2 and the engine coolant temperature (ECT) should be within 9°C (16°F) of each other and also the ambient temperature. Ignition ON, observe the scan tool IAT Sensor, IAT 2 Sensor and the ECT Sensor parameters. Compare those sensor parameters to each other and also to the ambient temperature to determine if the condition is current.
- Engine running, observe the scan tool IAT Sensor parameter. The reading should be between -39 to +120°C (-38 to +248°F) depending on the current ambient temperature and the vehicle operating conditions.
- Engine running, observe the scan tool IAT Sensor 2 parameter. The reading should be between -39 to +140°C (-38 to +284°F) depending on the current ambient temperature and the vehicle operating conditions.
IMPORTANT:
Determine the ambient temperature by using an accurate thermometer.
