DTC P1799: Problem in Intake Air Temperature Sensor Circuit
2005 Model

NOTE:
^ Record all freeze data and review General Troubleshooting Information before you troubleshoot.
^ This code is caused by an electrical circuit problem and cannot be caused by a mechanical problem in the transmission.

1. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).
2. Check whether the HDS indicates code for the intake air temperature (IAT) sensor.
Does the scan tool or the HDS indicate code for IAT sensor?
YES- Do the DTC Troubleshooting for the IAT sensor circuit low voltage, and the IAT sensor circuit high voltage. Recheck for DTC P1799 after troubleshooting.
NO- Turn the ignition switch OFF, then go to step 3.
3. Disconnect TCM connectors A (26P) and B (22P).
4. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).





5. Measure the voltage between TCM connector terminals B20 and A4 or A17.
Is there 4.75 - 5.25 V?
YES- Go to step 6.
NO- Repair open or short in VREF wire between TCM connector terminals B20 and the ECM.





6. Measure the voltage between TCM connector terminals B19 and A4 or A17.
Is there 0.1 - 4.8 V?
YES- Check for loose terminal fit in the TCM connectors. If necessary, substitute a known-good TCM, then recheck. If the symptom/indication goes away with a known-good TCM, replace the original TCM.
NO- Repair open or short in the wire between TCM connector terminal B19 and the IAT sensor.
