Signal Too High. Permanent Fault
Signal too high. Permanent fault
Checking wiring and components
Check the Intake Air Temperature (IAT) sensor resistance.
Check signal cable between control module #A5 (#A5) and intake air temperature sensor #1 for a short-circuit to ground according to Checking wiring and terminals. Permanent fault Checking Wiring and Terminals. Permanent Fault
Hint: With the ignition on and the Intake Air Temperature (IAT) sensor connector disconnected, the voltage between #1 and ground should be approximately 5 V.
Remedy as necessary.

Hint: After carrying out the repair, check that the fault has been remedied.
- Ignition off.
- Reconnect the connectors, reinstall components etc.
- Ignition on.
- Read off Intake Air Temperature (IAT) sensor signal. The Intake Air Temperature (IAT) sensor is integrated into the Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor.
Check that the signal is OK according to the table value:.
Is the signal OK?
Yes - VERIFIED
No - VERIFICATION FAILED

Fault-tracing information
The fault should have been detected and remedied. As this is not the case fault-tracing has failed.
Exit fault-tracing for this diagnostic trouble code (DTC) or make another attempt.
Do you want to exit fault-tracing?
Yes - Exit fault-tracing
No - Attempt New Test
