TROUBLESHOOTING

MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI)

13A-33

Code No. P0110: Intake Air Temperature Sensor System

OPERATION

œ

A power voltage of 5 V is applied to the intake air 
temperature sensor output terminal (terminal No. 
6) of the air flow sensor connector from the 
engine-ECU (terminal No. 72)

œ

The power voltage is earthed to the engine-ECU 
(terminal No. 40) from the air flow sensor (termi-
nal No. 5).

FUNCTION

œ

The intake air temperature sensor converts the 
intake air temperature into a voltage and inputs 
the voltage signal to the engine-ECU.

œ

In response to the signal, the engine-ECU cor-
rects the fuel injection amount, etc.

œ

The intake air temperature sensor is a kind of 
resistor, which has characteristics to reduce its 
resistance as the intake air temperature rises. 
Therefore, the sensor output voltage varies with 
the intake air temperature, and becomes lower as 
the intake air temperature rises.

TROUBLE JUDGMENT

Check Condition

œ

2 seconds later after the ignition switch has been 
in "ON" position or the engine has started up.

Judgment Criterion

œ

The sensor output voltage is 4.6 V or more 
(intake air temperature of below 

-

45

•

C or equiva-

lent) for 2 seconds.

Or

œ

The sensor output voltage is 0.2 V or loss (intake 
air temperature above 125

•

C or equivalent) for 2 

seconds.

PROBABLE CAUSE

œ

Failed intake air temperature sensor

œ

Open/short circuit in intake air temperature sen-
sor circuit or loose connector contact

œ

Failed engine-ECU

connector

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : 

Go to Step 3 .

NO : 

Repair.

STEP 3. Check intake air temperature sensor 
itself.

œ

Check intake air temperature sensor itself (Refer 
to 

3

13A



).

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : 

Go to Step 4 .

NO : 

Replace air flow sensor.

STEP 4. Measure voltage at B-08 air flow sensor 
connector.

œ

side.

œ

Voltage between terminal No. 5 and earth.

OK: 2 

W

 or less

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : 

Go to Step 8 .

NO : 

Go to Step 5 .
