Circuit/System Description

The intake air temperature (IAT) sensor, a part of the mass air flow (MAF) sensor assembly, is a variable resistor. The IAT sensor has a signal

circuit and a low reference circuit. The IAT sensor measures the temperature of the air entering the engine. The engine control module (ECM)

supplies 5 V to the IAT signal circuit, and a ground for the IAT low reference circuit.

Conditions for Running the DTC

P0112

* DTCs P0116, P0117, P0118, P0125, P0128, P0722, P0723 are not set.

* The engine is running for greater than 10 s.

* The engine coolant temperature (ECT) is colder than 150掳C (302掳F).

* This DTC runs continuously when the above conditions are met.

P0113

* DTCs P0101, P0102, P0103, P0116, P0117, P0118, P0125, P0128, P0722, P0723 are not set.

* The engine is running for greater than 10 s.

* The ECT is warmer than -40掳C (-40掳F).

* The MAF Sensor signal is equal to or greater than 512 g/s.

* This DTC runs continuously when the above conditions are met.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

P0112

The ECM detects that the IAT sensor signal is warmer than 149掳C (300掳F) for greater than 5 s.

P0113

The ECM detects that the IAT sensor signal is colder than -39掳C (-38掳F) for greater than 5 s.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

DTCs P0112 and P0113 are Type B DTCs.

Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC

DTCs P0112 and P0113 are Type B DTCs.

Diagnostic Aids

* With the ignition ON, the engine OFF, if the engine is cold, a properly functioning IAT sensor will gradually increase the scan tool IAT

Sensor parameter. This is due to the heat that is generated by the mass air flow (MAF) sensor heating elements.

* Depending on the ambient temperature, an IAT sensor signal circuit or low reference circuit that is shorted to the MAF sensor signal circuit

can cause a DTC P0113 to set. This condition causes a rapid fluctuation in the IAT Sensor parameter.

* An IAT sensor signal circuit that is shorted to the MAF sensor ignition circuit can cause a DTC P0113 to set.
