Intake Air Temperature Sensor -G42-, Checking

Function

The Engine Control Module -J623- uses the Intake Air Temperature Sensor -G42- signal to calculate a correction value for the charge air pressure. Evaluation of the signal gives consideration to the influence of temperature on the density of the charge air.

Special Tools And Workshop Equipment Required:

Multimeter
Wiring Diagram
Scan Tool

Test Procedure

Step	Procedure	Result / Action to Take
1	PERFORM: Preliminary Check to verify the customers complaint. Refer to PRELIMINARY CHECK . -- Was Complaint verified?	YES: GO TO Step 2 in Intake Air Temperature Sensor -G42-, CHECKING . NO: GATHER more information from customer about the complaint.
2	IGNITION: OFF. DISCONNECT: Intake Air Temperature Sensor -G42- harness connector. CHECK: Intake Air Temperature Sensor -G42- harness connector terminals 1 to 2 for resistance. SPECIFIED VALUE: 1500 Ω (+/- 325 Ω @ approx. 20° C). -- Was Value obtained?	YES: GO TO Step 3 in Intake Air Temperature Sensor -G42-, CHECKING . NO: REPLACE: Intake Air Temperature Sensor -G42-. Refer to appropriate Repair Information. GO TO: Step 4 in Intake Air Temperature Sensor -G42-, CHECKING .
3	REMOVE: Engine Control Module - J623-. Refer to appropriate Repair Information. CHECK: Intake Air Temperature Sensor -G42- harness connector terminal 1 to the Engine Control Module - J623- harness connector terminals T60 / 42 for resistance. CHECK: Intake Air Temperature Sensor -G42- harness connector terminal 2 to the Engine Control Module - J623- harness electrical connector for resistance. From Nov 2009 terminal T60 / 13. From May 2010 terminal T60 / 14. SPECIFIED VALUE: 0.5 Ω (± 0.3 Ω). -- Was Value obtained?	YES: REPLACE: Engine Control Module -J623-. Refer to appropriate Repair Information. GO TO: Step 4 in Intake Air Temperature Sensor -G42-, CHECKING . NO: CHECK: Wiring for open, high resistance, short or harness connector for damage, corrosion, loose or broken terminals. REPAIR: Faulty wiring or connector. GO TO: Step 4 in Intake Air Temperature Sensor -G42-, CHECKING .
4	Final Procedure Perform a road test to verify repair. Do any DTC's return:	YES: Check the DTC memory. Refer to DIAGNOSTIC MODE 03 - READ DTC MEMORY . Perform the diagnostic procedure for that DTC. NO: Repair is complete. Generate readiness code. Refer to READINESS CODE . Return vehicle to Customer.
