P0111


P0111 IAT SENSOR





Description





The intake air temperature sensor is built-into the mass air flow sensor (1). The sensor detects intake air temperature and transmits a signal to the ECM.
The temperature sensing unit uses a thermistor which is sensitive to the change in temperature. Electrical resistance of the thermistor decreases in response to the rise in temperature.

DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE
1.INSPECTION START
Is it necessary to erase permanent DTC?
YES - GO TO 3.
NO - GO TO 2.
2.PERFORM COMPONENT FUNCTION CHECK
Perform component function check. SEE Component Function Check.

NOTE:
Use the component function check to check the overall function of the IAT sensor circuit. During this check, a
1st trip DTC might not be confirmed.
Is the inspection result normal?
YES - INSPECTION END
NO - Proceed to SEE Diagnosis Procedure.
3.PRECONDITIONING
If DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE has been previously conducted, always perform the following procedure before conducting the next test.
1. Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds.
2. Turn ignition switch ON.
3. Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds.
TESTING CONDITION:
- Before performing the following procedure, do not add fuel.
- Before performing the following procedure, check that fuel level is between 1/4 and 4/4.
- Before performing the following procedure, confirm that battery voltage is 11 V or more at idle.
- GO TO 4.
4.PERFORM DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE
1. Start engine and let it idle for 60 minutes.
2. Move the vehicle to a cool place.

NOTE:
Cool the vehicle in an environment of ambient air temperature between -10�C (14�F) and 35�C (95�F).
3. Turn ignition switch OFF and soak the vehicle for 12 hours.

CAUTION:
Never turn ignition switch ON during soaking.

NOTE:
The vehicle must be cooled with the food open.
4. Start engine and let it idle for 5 minutes or more.

CAUTION:
Never turn ignition switch OFF during idling.
5. Check 1st trip DTC.
Is 1st trip DTC detected?
YES - Proceed to SEE Diagnosis Procedure.
NO - INSPECTION END




Component Function Check
1.CHECK INTAKE AIR TEMPERATURE (IAT) SENSOR
1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Disconnect mass air flow sensor (bank 1) harness connector.
3. Check resistance between mass air flow sensor (bank 1) terminals as follows.





Is the inspection result normal?
YES - GO TO 2.
NO - Proceed to SEE Diagnosis Procedure.
2.CHECK INTERMITTENT INCIDENT
Check intermittent incident. Intermittent Incident.
Is the inspection result normal?
YES - INSPECTION END
NO - Proceed to SEE Diagnosis Procedure.




Diagnosis Procedure
1.CHECK INTAKE AIR TEMPERATURE (IAT) SENSOR
Check intake air temperature sensor. SEE Component Inspection.
Is the inspection result normal?
YES - GO TO 2.
NO - Replace mass air flow sensor (with intake air temperature sensor) (bank 1). Exploded View Removal And Installation, "Exploded View".
2.CHECK INTERMITTENT INCIDENT
Check intermittent incident. Intermittent Incident.
- INSPECTION END
