CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The intake air temperature (IAT) sensor, mounted on the mass
(Fig.1) air flow (MAF) sensor, monitors the intake air temperature. The
IAT sensor has a thermistor that varies its resistance depending
30 on the temperature of the intake air. When the air temperature
20
is low, the resistance in the thermistor increases. When the tem-
10 perature is high, the resistance drops. The variations in resis-
Acceptable tance are reflected as voltage changes to the ECM terminal.

The 5 V power source voltage in the ECM is applied to the in-

sistor R.
That is, the resistor R and the intake air temperature sensor are

connected in series. When the resistance value of the intake air
0.1 temperature sensor changes in accordance with changes in the
intake air temperature, the potential at terminal THA (THAR)

HINT:
After confirming DTC P0110, P0112 or P0113, confirm the intake air temperature in the ”DIAGNOSIS / EN-
HANCED OBD II / DATA LIST / ALL” using the hand–held tester or the OBD II scan tool.
