Symptoms
- Check engine light on
Likely causes
- Internally failed IAT sensor
- Faulty connection at IAT sensor
- Open in IAT ground circuit or signal circuit
- Short to voltage in IAT signal circuit or reference circuit
- IAT harness and/or wiring routed too close to high-voltage wiring (e.g
- Alternator, spark plug cables, etc.)
- Faulty PCM (less likely but not impossible)
What to check, in order
- Read the code and freeze-frame data with an OBD-II scanner
- Check the connector and wiring of the part named in the code
- Test the part with scanner live data or a multimeter, using the values in the repair manual
- Fix the cause, clear the code and test-drive
