Diagnostic Fault Information
Typical Scan Tool Data
Circuit/System Description
The intake air temperature (IAT) sensor is an integral part of the mass air flow (MAF) sensor. The intake air temperature (IAT) sensor is a variable resistor that measures the temperature of the air entering the engine. The IAT sensor has a signal circuit and a low reference circuit. The engine control module (ECM) supplies 5 V to the IAT signal circuit and a ground for the IAT low reference circuit.
The following table illustrates the difference between temperature, resistance, and voltage:
Conditions for Running the DTC
P0112 and P0113
* The ignition is ON, or the engine is running.
* The battery voltage is greater than 9 V.
P0114
* DTC P0112, or P0113 is not set.
* The ignition is ON, or the engine is running.
* The battery voltage is greater than 9 V.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
P0112
The ECM detects that the IAT sensor voltage is less than 0.15 V for greater than 0.1 s.
P0113
The ECM detects that the IAT sensor voltage is more than 4.85 V for greater than 0.1 s.
P0114
The ECM detects that the IAT sensor signal has abruptly changed a minimum of 10°C (18°F) warmer or colder for greater than 2 s.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
DTCs P0112, P0113 and P0114 are Type B DTCs.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
DTCs P0112, P0113 and P0114 are Type B DTCs.

Circuit/System Verification
1. 1. Engine running, observe the scan tool IAT Sensor parameter. The reading should be between -38 to +149°C (-36 to +300°F).
2. Engine running, observe the scan tool IAT Sensor parameter while moving the related wiring harness and harness connectors. The reading should not change abruptly.
• If the reading changes abruptly, repair the wiring harness or the harness connectors.
Circuit/System Testing
1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the B75B Mass Air Flow/Intake Air Temperature Sensor.
2. Ignition OFF for 90 s, test for less than 5 ohm between the low reference circuit terminal 1 and ground.
• If greater than the specified range, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 Engine Control Module.
3. Ignition ON, verify the scan tool IAT Sensor is at -40°C (-40°F).
• If warmer than the specified range, test the signal circuit terminal A for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 Engine Control Module.
Caution: If the fuse in the jumper wire opens, the signal circuit may have a short to a voltage or a short to ground and the sensor might be damaged.
4. Install a 3 A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal 3 and ground. Verify the scan tool IAT Sensor is greater than 149°C (300°F).
• If less than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 Engine Control Module.
5. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the B75B Mass Air Flow/Intake Air Temperature Sensor.
Component Testing
Dynamic Test
1. Vehicle OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the B75B Mass Air Flow/Intake Air Temperature Sensor.
Note: A thermometer can be used to test the sensor off the vehicle.
2. Test the IAT sensor by varying the sensor temperature while monitoring the sensor resistance. Compare the readings with the Temperature Versus Resistance. The resistance values should be in range of the table values.
• If not within the specified range, replace the B75B Mass Air Flow/Intake Air Temperature Sensor.
