Intake Air Temperature (IAT) Sensor (Samurai, Sidekick TBI & Swift SOHC)
- Disconnect IAT sensor connector. Turn ignition on. Check voltage between Red/Black wire (Samurai and Sidekick TBI) or Gray wire (Swift SOHC) terminals and ground. If voltage is not 4-5 volts, check wiring harness for open or short. If voltage is present, go to next step.
- Remove IAT sensor and place it in water with a thermometer. Heat water to specified temperature and check resistance. See INTAKE AIR TEMPERATURE (IAT) SENSOR RESISTANCE table. Replace IAT sensor if resistance is not within specification.
