Intake Air Temperature (IAT) Sensor
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1997 Suzuki Swift. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Disconnect IAT sensor connector. Turn ignition on. Check voltage between ground and Gray 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.
- 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.
