P0113

Intake Air Temperature Circuit High Input

DESCRIPTION

  • The Intake Air Temperature (IAT) sensor, built into the Mass Air Flow (MAF) meter, monitors the intake air temperature. The IAT sensor has a thermistor that varies its resistance depending on the intake air temperature. When the intake air temperature is low, the resistance in the thermistor increases. When the temperature is high, the resistance drops. The variations in resistance are reflected as voltage changes to the ECM terminal (see Fig. 1).

    The IAT sensor is connected to the ECM. The 5 V power source voltage in the ECM is applied to the IAT sensor from terminal THA via resistor R.

    The resistor R and the IAT sensor are connected in series. When the resistance value of the IAT sensor changes in accordance with changes in the intake air temperature, the voltage at terminal THA also changes. Based on this signal, the ECM increases the fuel injection volume to improve driveability during cold engine operation.

DTC No.

DTC Detection Condition

Trouble Area

P0110

Open or short in IAT sensor circuit for 0.5 seconds (1 trip detection logic)

  • Open or short in Intake Air Temperature (IAT) sensor circuit
  • Intake Air Temperature (IAT) sensor (built into Mass Air Flow [MAF] meter)
  • ECM

P0112

Short in IAT sensor circuit for 0.5 seconds (1 trip detection logic)

  • Short in IAT sensor circuit
  • IAT sensor (built into MAF meter)
  • ECM

P0113

Open in IAT sensor circuit for 0.5 seconds (1 trip detection logic)

  • Open in IAT sensor circuit
  • IAT sensor (built into MAF meter)
  • ECM

HINT:

After confirming DTC "P0110, P0112 or P0113", use the intelligent tester to confirm the intake air temperature in the "DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II / PRIMARY / INTAKE AIR".

Temperature Displayed

Malfunction

-40°C (-40°F)

Open circuit

Short circuit

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

The ECM monitors the sensor voltage and uses this value to calculate the intake air temperature. When the sensor output voltage deviates from the normal operating range, the ECM interprets this as a fault in the IAT sensor and sets a DTC.

Example:

When the sensor voltage output is -40°C (-40°F) or more than 140°C (284°F) and if either condition continues for 0.5 seconds or more, the ECM will set a DTC.

This monitor runs 0.5 seconds after the ignition switch is turned ON.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

HINT:

  • If other DTCs relating to different systems that have terminal E2 as the ground terminal are output simultaneously, terminal E2 may have an open circuit.
  • Read freeze frame data using the intelligent tester. Freeze frame data records the engine conditions when a malfunction is detected. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was running or stopped, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.
