.

CIRCUIT OPERATION

• Approximately 5 volts are applied to the intake air 

temperature sensor output terminal (terminal No. 
6) from the PCM (terminal No. 64) via the resistor 
in the PCM. The ground terminal (terminal No. 5) 
is grounded with PCM (terminal No. 57).

• The intake air temperature sensor is a negative 

temperature coefficient type of resistor. When the 
intake air temperature rises, the resistance 
decreases.

• The intake air temperature sensor output voltage 

increases when the resistance increases and 
decreases when the resistance decreases.

.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

• The intake air temperature sensor converts the 

intake air temperature to a voltage.

• The PCM checks whether this voltage is within a 

specified range.

.

DESCRIPTIONS OF MONITOR METHODS
Intake air temperature sensor output voltage is out of 

specified range.

.

MONITOR EXECUTION

.

Check Conditions

• 2 seconds or more have passed since the start-

ing sequence was completed.

Judgement Criteria

• Intake air temperature sensor output voltage has 

continued to be0.2 volt or lower [corresponding to 
an air intake temperature of 115

°C (239°F) or 

higher] for 2 seconds.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS (The most likely 
causes for this code to be set are:)

• Intake air temperature sensor failed.

• Shorted intake air temperature sensor circuit, or 

connector damage.

• PCM failed.

DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tools:

• MB991958: Scan Tool (MUT-III Sub Assembly)

• MB991824: V.C.I

• MB991827: USB Cable

• MB991911: Main Harness B

STEP 1. Using scan tool MB991958, check data list item 13: 
Intake Air Temperature Sensor.

CAUTION

To prevent damage to scan tool MB991958, always turn the 
ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position before con-
necting or disconnecting scan tool MB991958.
(1) Connect scan tool MB991958 to the data link connector.
(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(3) Set scan tool MB991958 to the data reading mode for item 

13, Intake Air Temperature Sensor.

• The intake air temperature and temperature shown with 

the scan tool should approximately match.

(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is the sensor operating properly?

YES : It can be assumed that this malfunction is intermittent. 

Refer to GROUP 00, How to Use 
Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points 

P.00-7

.

NO :  Go to Step 2.

STEP 2. Check connector A-01 at the intake air 
temperature sensor for damage.
Q: Is the connector in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 3.
NO :  Repair or replace it. Refer to GROUP 00E, Harness 

Connector Inspection 

P.00E-2

. Then go to Step 6.
