DIAGNOSTIC FAULT INFORMATION
IMPORTANT: Always perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle prior to using this diagnostic procedure.
TYPICAL SCAN TOOL DATA
IAT Sensor 2:
CIRCUIT/SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The intake air temperature (IAT) sensor 2 is a variable resistor. The IAT sensor 2 has a signal circuit and a low reference circuit. The IAT sensor measures the temperature of the air at the engines intake manifold. The engine control module (ECM) supplies 5 volts to the IAT 2 signal circuit, and a ground for the IAT 2 low reference circuit. When the IAT sensor 2 is cold, the sensor resistance is high. When the intake manifold air temperature increases, the sensor resistance decreases. With high sensor resistance, the ECM detects a high voltage on the IAT 2 signal circuit. With lower sensor resistance, the ECM detects a lower voltage on the IAT 2 signal circuit. The ECM continuously monitors the IAT signal voltage for an excessively high or low voltage, or a voltage signal that is not in correlation with the mass air flow (MAF)/IAT sensor.
CONDITIONS FOR RUNNING THE DTC
DTC P0097 and P0098 run continuously within the enabling conditions
CONDITIONS FOR SETTING THE DTC
P0097
The IAT sensor 2 is more than 148°C (298°F) for more than one second. This is equal to or less than 0.24 volt on the IAT sensor 2 signal circuit as measured by the ECM for P0097.
P0098
The IAT sensor 2 is less than -39°C (-38°F) for more than one second. This is equal to or more than 4.86 volts on the IAT signal circuit as measured by the ECM for P0098.
ACTION TAKEN WHEN THE DTC SETS
- The control module illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) on the second consecutive ignition cycle that the diagnostic runs and fails.
- The control module records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The first time the diagnostic fails, the control module stores this information in the Failure Records. If the diagnostic reports a failure on the second consecutive ignition cycle, the control module records the operating conditions at the time of the failure. The control module writes the operating conditions to the Freeze Frame and updates the Failure Records.
CONDITIONS FOR CLEARING THE MIL/DTC
- The control module turns OFF the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) after 3 consecutive ignition cycles that the diagnostic runs and does not fail.
- A current DTC, Last Test Failed, clears when the diagnostic runs and passes.
- A history DTC clears after 40 consecutive warm-up cycles, if no failures are reported by this or any other emission related diagnostic.
- Clear the MIL and the DTC with a scan tool.
CIRCUIT/SYSTEM VERIFICATION
IMPORTANT: If you cannot duplicate the condition, 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.
With the ignition OFF for eight hours or more, the IAT sensor 2 and engine coolant temperature (ECT), should be within 6°C (11°F) of each other and also the ambient temperature.
CIRCUIT/SYSTEM TESTING
P0097
With the ignition ON, the engine OFF, and the IAT sensor 2 disconnected, observe the IAT Sensor 2 parameter with a scan tool for a value of less than -39°C (-38°F).
- If the IAT Sensor 2 parameter is less than -39°C (-38°F), replace the IAT sensor 2.
- If the IAT Sensor 2 parameter is more than -39°C (-38°F), test the IAT sensor 2 signal circuit for a short to ground, low reference, or faulty ECM.
P0098
1. With the ignition ON, the engine OFF, and the IAT sensor 2 disconnected, measure the voltage between the IAT sensor 2 signal circuit and a good ground with a DMM.
- If the voltage is more than 5.1 volts, test the IAT sensor 2 signal circuit for a short to voltage.
- If the voltage is less than 4.8 volts, test the IAT sensor 2 signal circuit for an open or a faulty ECM.
2. Measure the voltage between the IAT sensor 2 low reference circuit and the IAT sensor 2 signal circuit.
- If the voltage is less than 4.8 volts, test the ECT low reference circuit for an open, or a faulty ECM.
- If the voltage is between 4.8-5.1 volts, test the IAT 2 signal and low reference circuits for high resistance.
3. With the ignition ON, engine OFF, and the IAT sensor harness disconnected, observe the scan tool IAT temperature parameter for a value of less than -39°C (-38°F). With the 3-amp fused jumper wire connected between the signal and low reference circuits, observe the scan tool IAT temperature parameter for a value of more than 148°C (298°F).
- If the temperature is more than 148°C (298°F), test the IAT signal circuit for a short to a 5-volt reference circuit.
- If the IAT sensor 2 circuits test normal, replace the IAT sensor.
COMPONENT TESTING
Compare the IAT sensor 2 resistance to the values listed in the Temperature vs Resistance table. Refer to Temperature vs Resistance (ECT Sensor) Temperature vs Resistance (IAT Sensor) Temperature vs Resistance (IAT 2 Sensor) Temperature vs Resistance (Fuel Temperature).
- If the resistance is not within the range listed in the temperature vs. resistance table, replace the IAT sensor 2.
REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT: Always perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
