Circuit | Short to Ground | Open/High Resistance | Short to Voltage | Signal Performance |
---|---|---|---|---|
Signal | P0112 | P0113 | P0113* | P0111 |
Low Reference | - | P0113 | P0113* | P0111 |
* Internal ECM or sensor damage may occur if the circuit is shorted to B+. |
Circuit | Short to Ground | Open | Short to Voltage |

Operating Conditions: Engine running in closed loop Parameter Normal Range: Varies with ambient temperature | |||
Signal | 142.5°C (288.5°F) | -48°C (-54.4°F) | -48°C (-54.4°F) |
Low Reference | - | -48°C (-54.4°F) | -48°C (-54.4°F) |
Internal ECM or sensor damage may occur if the circuit is shorted to B+. |
The inlet 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 an ground for the IAT low reference circuit.
The following table illustrates the difference between temperature, resistance, and voltage:
IAT | IAT Resistance | IAT Signal Voltage |
---|---|---|
Cold | High | High |
Warm | Low | Low |
• | The engine is running for greater than 5-110 s depending on the coolant temperature. |
• | The battery voltage is between 10-16 V. |
• | The DTC runs continuously when the above conditions are met. |
The ECM detects that the measured intake air temperature sensor signal voltage is less than 0.01 V.
The ECM detects that the measured intake air temperature sensor signal voltage is greater than 4.99 V.
DTC P0112 and P0113 are Type E DTCs.
DTC P0112 and P0113 are Type E DTCs.
If the vehicle has sat overnight, the IAT sensor, ECT sensor 1, and the ECT sensor 2 values should display within 3°C (5°F) of each other.

Powertrain Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Type Definitions
Control Module References for scan tool information
⇒ | If any of the DTCs are set, refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle . |
⇒ | If greater than the specified range, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 ECM. |
⇒ | If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 ECM. |
Note: If the fuse in the jumper wire opens, the signal circuit is shorted to a voltage and the sensor may be damaged.
⇒ | If less than the specified range, test the signal circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 ECM. |
Note: A thermometer can be used to test the sensor off the vehicle.
⇒ | If not within the specified range, replace the B66 IAT sensor. |
Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
