Intake Air Temperature (IAT) Sensor

  1. Disconnect IAT sensor connector. Turn ignition on. Check voltage between ground and Gray/Red wire terminal of connector. If voltage is not 4-5 volts, check wiring harness for an open or short. If voltage is 4-5 volts, go to next step.
  2. Remove IAT sensor and place in container of 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.
