IAT Sensor Inspection

  1. Remove MAF & IAT sensor. See MASS AIR FLOW (MAF) & Intake Air Temperature (IAT) Sensor Removal and Installation 
  2. Check sensor O-ring (1) for damage and deterioration. If faulty condition is found, replace MAF & IAT sensor.
  3. Measure resistance between sensor terminals "1" and "2" while blowing hot air to temperature sensing part (2) of MAF & IAT sensor (3) using hot air drier (4).

    If measured resistance is out of specified value, replace MAF & IAT sensor.

    Intake air temperature sensor resistance 

    -20 °C (-4 °F): 13.6 - 18.4 kΩ 

    20 °C (68 °F): 2.21 - 2.69 kΩ 

    60 °C (140 °F): 0.493 - 0.667 kΩ
