DTC P0113: Intake air temperature Circuit High Input

Intake Air Temperature Sensor Circuit:






CIRCUIT OPERATION
- Approximately 5 volts are applied to the intake air temperature sensor output terminal (terminal No. 6) from the ECM (terminal No. 62) or PCM (terminal No. 64) via the resistor in the ECM or PCM . The ground terminal (terminal No. 5) is grounded with ECM (terminal No. 34) or PCM (terminal No. 16) .
- The intake air temperature sensor is a negative temperature coefficient type of resistor. When the intake air temperature rises, the resistance decreases.
- The intake air temperature sensor output voltage increases when the resistance increases and decreases when the resistance decreases.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
- The intake air temperature sensor converts the intake air temperature to a voltage.
- The ECM or PCM
checks whether this voltage is within a specified range.

DESCRIPTIONS OF MONITOR METHODS
Intake air temperature sensor output voltage is out of specified range.

MONITOR EXECUTION

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS (The most likely causes for this code to be set are:)
- Intake air temperature sensor failed.
- Open intake air temperature sensor circuit connector damage.
- ECM failed.
- PCM failed.

DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tools:
- MB991958: Scan Tool (MUT-III Sub Assembly)
- MB991824: V.C.I.
- MB991827: USB Cable
- MB991911: Main Harness B




STEP 1. Using scan tool MB991958, check data list item 13: Intake Air Temperature Sensor.

CAUTION: To prevent damage to scan tool MB991958, always turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position before connecting or disconnecting scan tool or MB991958.

1. Connect scan tool MB991958 to the data link connector.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
3. Set scan tool MB991958 to the data reading mode for item 13, Intake Air Temperature Sensor.
- The intake air temperature and temperature shown with the scan tool should approximately match.

4. Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.

Q: Is the sensor operating properly?

YES: It can be assumed that this malfunction is intermittent. Refer to How to Use Troubleshooting/ Inspection Service Points.

NO: Go to Step 2.




STEP 2. Check connector B-14 at the intake air temperature sensor for damage.

Q: Is the connector in good condition?

YES: Go to Step 3.

NO: Repair or replace it. Refer to Harness Connector Inspection. Then go to Step 11.

STEP 3. Check the intake air temperature sensor.




1. Disconnect the intake air temperature sensor connector B-14.




2. Measure the resistance between intake air temperature sensor side connector terminal 5 and 6.
- There should be continuity. (0.30 - 1.0 kOhms)

Q: Is the measured resistance between 0.30 and 1.0 kOhms?

YES: Go to Step 4.

NO: Replace the volume airflow sensor. Then go to Step 11.

STEP 4. Check the sensor supply voltage at intake air temperature sensor harness side connector B-14.

1. Disconnect the connector B-14 and measure at the harness side.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.







3. Measure the voltage between terminal 6 and ground.
- Voltage should be between 4.5 and 4.9 volts.

4. Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.

Q: Is the measured voltage between 4.5 and 4.9 volts?

YES: Go to Step 8.

NO: Go to Step 5.

STEP 5. Check the sensor supply voltage at ECM connector C-58 or PCM connector C-55
by backprobing.







1. Do not disconnect the ECM connector C-58 or PCM connector C-55
.
2. Disconnect the intake air temperature sensor connector B-14.
3. Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.







4. Measure the voltage between terminal 62 or 64
and ground by backprobing.
- Voltage should be between 4.5 and 4.9 volts.

5. Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.

Q: Is the measured voltage between 4.5 and 4.9 volts?

YES: Go to Step 6.

NO: Go to Step 7.







STEP 6. Check connector C-58 at ECM or connector C-55 at PCM
for damage.

Q: Is the connector in good condition?

YES: Repair harness wire between intake air temperature sensor connector B-14 and ECM connector C-58 or PCM connector C-55
because of open circuit. Then go to Step 11.

NO: Repair or replace it. Refer to Harness Connector Inspection. Then go to Step 11.







STEP 7. Check connector C-58 at ECM or connector C-55 at PCM
for damage.

Q: Is the connector in good condition?

YES: Replace the ECM or PCM. Then go to Step 11.

NO: Repair or replace it. Refer to Harness Connector Inspection. Then go to Step 11.

STEP 8. Check the continuity at intake air temperature sensor harness side connector B-14.




1. Disconnect the connector B-14 and measure at the harness side.




2. Check for the continuity between terminal 5 and ground.
- Should be less than 2 Ohms.

Q: Is the continuity normal?

YES: Replace the ECM or PCM. Then go to Step 11.

NO: Go to Step 9.







STEP 9. Check connector C-51 at ECM or connector C-52 at PCM
for damage.

Q: Is the connector in good condition?
