Circuit/System Description

The intake air temperature (IAT) sensor is a variable resistor. It is integrated into the mass air flow (MAF) sensor. The IAT sensor has a signal circuit and a low reference circuit. The IAT sensor measures the temperature of the air entering the engine. The engine control module (ECM) supplies 5 V to the IAT signal circuit, and a ground for the IAT low reference circuit.

Conditions for Running the DTC

P0112

    • The engine run time is greater than 1 s.
    • The DTC runs continuously when the above conditions are met.

P0113

    • The engine run time is greater than 1 s.
    • The DTC runs continuously when the above conditions are met.

P0114

    • The ignition is ON or the engine is running.
    • This DTC runs continuously within the enabling conditions.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

P0112

The ECM detects that the IAT sensor signal is warmer than 149°C (300°F) for greater than 7 s.

P0113

The ECM detects that the IAT sensor signal is colder than -60°C (-76°F) for greater than 7 s.

P0114

The ECM detects that the IAT sensor signal is intermittent or has abruptly changed for greater than 4 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.
    • The ECM commands the cooling fans ON.

Diagnostic Aids

    • With the ignition ON, the engine OFF, if the engine is cold, a properly functioning IAT sensor will gradually increase the scan tool IAT Sensor parameter. This is due to the heat that is generated by the mass air flow (MAF) sensor heating elements
    • Depending on the ambient temperature, an IAT sensor signal circuit or low reference circuit that is shorted to the MAF sensor signal circuit can cause a DTC P0113 and/or P0114 to set. This condition causes a rapid fluctuation in the IAT Sensor parameter.
    • An IAT sensor signal circuit that is shorted to the MAF sensor ignition circuit can cause a DTC P0113 and/or P0114 to set.
    • A MAF sensor ground circuit that is open will cause a DTC P0113 and/or a DTC P0114 to set.

Circuit/System Verification

  1. Engine running, observe the scan tool IAT Sensor Signal parameter. The reading should be between -40 to +149°C (-40 to +300°F) depending on the current ambient temperature and the vehicle operating conditions.
  2. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC to verify that the DTC does not reset. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records data.

Circuit/System Testing

Note: All electrical components and accessories must be turned OFF and allowed to power down.

  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the B75B mass air flow/intake air temperature sensor.
  2. Ignition OFF, all vehicle systems OFF, this may take up to 2 minutes, test for less than 5 Ω between the low reference circuit terminal D and ground.
  3. If greater than the specified range, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance or for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 ECM.
  4. Ignition ON, verify the scan tool IAT Sensor Signal parameter is colder than -39°C (-38°F).
  5. If warmer than the specified range, test the signal circuit terminal E 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 voltage and the sensor may be damaged.

  6. Install a 3 A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal E and ground. Verify the scan tool IAT parameter is warmer than 149°C (300°F).
  7. If colder 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 ECM.
  8. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the B75B mass air flow/intake air temperature sensor.

Component Testing

Measure and record the resistance of the IAT sensor at various ambient temperatures, then compare those measurements to the Temperature Versus Resistance - Intake Air Temperature Sensor table.

Repair Instructions

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the repair.
