Intake Air Temperature (IAT) Sensor Inspection

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Suzuki Vitara. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Immerse temperature sensing part of IAT sensor in water (or ice) and measure resistance between sensor terminals while heating water gradually. If measured resistance doesn't show characteristics as shown in the figure, replace IAT sensor.
