Signal Too High - Permanent Fault

Signal too high. Permanent fault

Checking the wiring and component
Check the Intake Air Temperature (IAT) sensor resistance.
Check the signal cable between control module terminal #A5 (#A5) and intake air temperature sensor terminal #1. Check for a short-circuit to ground.

Hint: With the ignition on and the intake air temperature (IAT) sensor connector disconnected, the voltage between terminal #1 and ground must be approximately 5 V.

Remedy as necessary.

Hint: After carrying out the repair, check that the fault has been remedied.








- Ignition off.
- Reconnect connectors, reinstall components
- Ignition on.
- Read off the intake air temperature (IAT).
The Intake Air Temperature (IAT) sensor is integrated into the Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor.









Is the temperature within its permitted range?

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.
