DTC P0113: Intake Air Temperature Circuit High InputIntake Air Temperature Sensor Circuit:
CAUTION: If DTC P0113 has been set, TCL related DTC U1120 is also set. After P0113 has been diagnosed, don't forget to erase DTC U1120.
CIRCUIT OPERATION
- Approximately 5 volts are applied to the intake air temperature sensor output terminal (terminal No. 1) from the ECM
- 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
DESCRIPTIONS OF MONITOR METHODS

DIAGNOSIS
Required Special Tools:
- MB991958: Scan Tool (M.U.T.-III Sub Assembly)
- MB991824: V.C.I.
- MB991827: USB Cable
- MB991910: Main Harness A
- MB991923: Power Plant ECU Check Harness
STEP 1. Using scan tool MB991958, check data list item 5: 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 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 5, 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.
NO: Go to Step 2.
STEP 2. Check harness connector B-09 at the intake air temperature sensor for damage.
Q: Is the harness connector in good condition?
YES: Go to Step 3.
NO: Repair or replace it. Then go to Step 11.
STEP 3. Check the intake air temperature sensor.
1. Disconnect the intake air temperature sensor connector B-09.
2. Measure the resistance between intake air temperature sensor side connector terminal No. 1 and No. 4.
- There should be continuity. (0.30 - 20 kohms)
Q: Is the measured resistance between 0.30 and 20 kohms?
YES: Go to Step 4.
NO: Replace the mass airflow sensor. Then go to Step 11.
STEP 4. Measure the sensor supply voltage at intake air temperature sensor harness side connector B-09.
1. Disconnect the connector B-09 and measure at the harness side.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
3. Measure the voltage between terminal No. 1 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. Measure the sensor supply voltage at ECM
1. Disconnect all ECM
2. Disconnect the intake air temperature sensor connector B-09.
3. Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
4. Measure the voltage between terminal No. 107 and ground.
- 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 harness connector B-21 at ECM
Q: Is the harness connector in good condition?
YES: Repair harness wire between intake air temperature sensor connector B-09 (terminal No. 1) and ECM
NO: Repair or replace it. Then go to Step 11.
STEP 7. Check harness connector B-21 at ECM
Q: Is the harness connector in good condition?
YES: Replace the ECM or the PCM. When the ECM or the PCM is replaced, register the encrypted code. Refer to Encrypted Code Registration Criteria Table. Then go to Step 11.
NO: Repair or replace it. Then go to Step 11.
STEP 8. Check the continuity at intake air temperature sensor harness side connector B-09.
1. Disconnect the connector B-09 and measure at the harness side.
2. Check for the continuity between terminal No. 4 and ground.
- Should be less than 2 Ohms.
Q: Does continuity exist?
YES: Replace the ECM or the PCM. When the ECM or the PCM is replaced, register the encrypted code. Refer to Encrypted Code Registration Criteria Table. Then go to Step 11.
NO: Go to Step 9.
STEP 9. Check harness connector B-20 at ECM
Q: Is the harness connector in good condition?
YES: Go to Step 10.
NO: Repair or replace it. Then go to Step 11.
STEP 10. Check for open circuit between intake air temperature sensor connector B-09 (terminal No. 4) and ECM
Q: Is the harness wire in good condition?
YES: Replace the ECM or the PCM. When the ECM or the PCM is replaced, register the encrypted code. Refer to Encrypted Code Registration Criteria Table. Then go to Step 11.
NO: Repair it. Then go to Step 11.
STEP 11. Test the OBD-II drive cycle.
