Diagnostic Fault Information






Typical Scan Tool Data






Circuit/System Description

The intake air temperature (IAT) sensor 2 is a variable resistor that measures the temperature of the air in the mass air flow (MAF) sensor bore. The signal varies with inlet air temperature and is displayed by the scan tool as °C (°F). The engine control module (ECM) supplies 5 V to the signal circuit and a ground for the low reference circuit. The ECM monitors the signal for an excessively high or low voltage.

Conditions for Running the DTCs

* The engine is running for longer than 10 s.

* The battery voltage is more than 11 V.

* DTC P0097 and P0098 run continuously when the above conditions are met.

Conditions for Setting the DTCs

P0097

The IAT Sensor 2 parameter is warmer than 150°C (302°F) for greater than 5 s. This is equal to or less than 0.08 V on the IAT signal circuit as measured by the ECM.

Note: The scan tool display range is between -40 and +150°C (-40 and +302°F).

P0098

The IAT Sensor 2 parameter is colder than -52°C (-61°F) for greater than 5 s. This is equal to greater than 4.9 V on the IAT signal circuit as measured by the ECM.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

* DTCs P0097 and P0098 are Type B DTCs.

* The driver information center may display Service Emissions System message.

Conditions for Clearing the DTCs

DTCs P0097 and P0098 are Type A DTCs.

Diagnostic Aids

* The (8 Pin) Multifunction Intake Air Sensor (IAT sensor 1) is placed in the air stream ahead of the (5 Pin) Mass Air Flow/Intake Air Temperature (IAT sensor 2). They are both mounted to the air cleaner cover.

* With the ignition ON and the engine OFF, if the engine is cold, a properly functioning IAT sensor 2 will gradually increase the scan tool IAT Sensor 2 parameter. This is due to the heat that is generated by the MAF sensor heating elements.

* Depending on the ambient temperature, an IAT sensor 2 signal circuit or low reference circuit that is shorted to the MAF sensor signal circuit can cause a DTC P0098 to set. This condition can cause a rapid fluctuation in the IAT Sensor 2 parameter.

* An inaccurate IAT sensor 2 and/or 3 may cause P0101 to set. Verify the sensor's operation by varying the air temperature while observing the scan tool parameter and comparing the readings with a thermometer.

* An IAT sensor 2 low reference circuit that is open can cause the IAT Sensor 2 parameter response to be sluggish. This condition may not necessarily set a DTC.

* Verify that any electrical aftermarket devices are properly connected and grounded. Refer to Checking Aftermarket Accessories Checking Aftermarket Accessories.

Circuit/System Verification

Note:

* To minimize the effects of residual engine heat and sensor internal heating elements, perform Steps 1 and 2 of this verification procedure only if the ignition has been OFF for 8 hours or more.

* The vehicle sitting in direct sun light or having the block heater ON will skew the results.

1. Ignition ON

2. Verify the following scan tool parameters are within 15°C (27°F) of each other.

* IAT Sensor 1 and 2

* Start-Up ECT Sensor

* Ambient Air Temp. Sensor

If not within 15°C (27°F)
Refer to Circuit System Testing.

If within 15°C (27°F)

3. Engine idling.

4. Verify the IAT Sensor 2 parameter is between -39 to +148°C (-38 to +298°F).

If not between -39 to +148°C (-38 to +298°F)
Refer to Circuit System Testing.

If between -39 to +148°C (-38 to +298°F)

5. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records data.

6. Verify a DTC does not set.

If the DTC sets
Refer to Circuit/System Testing.

If the DTC does not set

7. All OK.

Circuit/System Testing

Note:

* You must perform the Circuit/System Verification before proceeding with the Circuit/System Testing.

* You must perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the Circuit/System Testing.

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the (5 Pin) B75B Mass Air Flow/Intake Air Temperature sensor (IAT sensor 2).

2. Ignition OFF and all vehicle systems OFF. It may take up to 2 minutes for all vehicle systems to power down. Test for less than 2 ohms between the Intake Air Temperature sensor 2 low reference circuit terminal B and ground.

If 2 ohms or greater

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X1 harness connector at the K20 Engine Control Module.

2. Test for less than 2 ohms in the low reference circuit end to end.

If 2 ohms or greater, repair the open or high resistance in the circuit.

If less than 2 ohms replace the K20 Engine Control Module.

3. Ignition ON, test for 4.8-5.2 V between the intake air temperature sensor 2 signal circuit terminal A and ground.

If less than 4.8 V

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X1 harness connector at the K20 Engine Control Module.

2. Test for infinite resistance between the signal circuit and ground.

If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
