Diagnostic Fault Information
Typical Scan Tool Data
Circuit/System Description
The intake air temperature (IAT) sensor 1 is a variable resistor that measures the temperature of the air in the sensor bore. The engine control module (ECM) supplies 5 V to the IAT sensor 1 signal circuit and a ground for the IAT sensor 1 low reference circuit. The signal varies with inlet air temperature and is displayed by the scan tool as °C (°F).
The multifunction intake air sensor houses the following:
* IAT sensor 1
* IAT sensor 2
* Humidity sensor
* Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor
* BARO pressure sensor
Conditions for Running the DTCs
P0112, P0113, and P0114
* The ignition is ON, or the engine is running.
* The DTCs run continuously when the above conditions are met.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
P0112
Note: The scan tool display range is between -40 and +150°C (-40 and +302°F).
The ECM detects that the sensor signal is warmer than 150°C (302°F) for at least 5 s.
P0113
Note: The scan tool display range is between -40 and +150°C (-40 and +302°F).
The ECM detects that the sensor signal is colder than -60°C (-76°F) for at least 5 s.
P0114
The ECM monitors the sensor signal every 0.1 s, to determine if the signal has changed more than 125°C (257°F) during a 4 s time period.
Action Taken When the DTCs Set
* DTCs P0112, P0113, and P0114 are Type B DTCs.
* The ECM commands the cooling fans ON.
Conditions for Clearing the DTCs
DTCs P0112, P0113, and P0114 are Type B DTCs.
Diagnostic Aids
* With the ignition ON, when the engine is cold and not running, a properly functioning IAT sensor 1 will gradually increase the scan tool IAT Sensor 1 parameter. This is due to the heat that is generated by the multifunction intake air sensor internal heating elements.
* Depending on the ambient temperature, an IAT sensor 1 signal circuit or low reference circuit that is shorted to the MAF sensor signal circuit can cause a DTC P0113 and/or P0114 to set. This condition causes a rapid fluctuation in the IAT Sensor 1 parameter.

Circuit/System Verification
Note: To minimize the effects of residual engine heat and sensor internal heating elements, perform Steps 1 and 2 of this verification procedure only if the ignition has been OFF for 8 hours or more.
1. Ignition ON.
2. Verify the following scan tool parameters are within 30°C (54°F) of each other.
* Start-Up IAT Sensor 1
* IAT Sensor 2
* IAT Sensor 3; where equipped
• If not within 30°C (54°F)
Refer to Circuit/System Testing.
• If within 30°C (54°F)
3. Engine idling, verify the following scan tool parameters are between: -38 and +149°C (-36 and +300°F).
* IAT Sensor 1
* IAT Sensor 2
* IAT Sensor 3; where equipped
• If not between: -38 and +149°C (-36 and +300°F)
Refer to Circuit/System Testing.
• If between: -38 and +149°C (-36 and +300°F)
4. Operate the vehicle within the conditions for running the DTC. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the freeze frame/failure records data.
5. Verify the DTCs do not set.
• If any of the DTCs set
Refer to Circuit/System Testing.
• If none of the DTCs set
6. All OK
Circuit/System Testing
1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the B75C Multifunction Intake Air sensor.
2. Ignition OFF all systems OFF. It may take up to for 2 minutes for all vehicle systems to power down. Test for less than 2 ohms between the low reference circuit terminal 3 and ground.
• If 2 ohms or greater
1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the K20 engine control module.
2. Test for less than 2 ohms in the low reference circuit end to end.
• If 2 ohms or greater, repair the open or high resistance in the circuit.
• If less than 2 ohms replace the K20 engine control module.
• If less than 2 ohms
3. Ignition ON, test for 4.8-5.2 V between the intake air temperature sensor 1 signal circuit terminal 1 and ground.
• If less than 4.8 V
1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the K20 engine control module.
2. Test for infinite resistance between the signal circuit and ground.
• If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
• If infinite resistance
3. Test for less than 2 ohms in the signal circuit end to end.
• If 2 ohms or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
• If less than 2 ohms, replace the K20 engine control module.
• If greater than 5.2 V
Note: If the signal circuit is shorted to a voltage the engine control module or the sensor may be damaged.
1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the K20 engine control module.
2. Ignition ON, test for less than 1 V between the signal circuit and ground.
• If 1 V or greater, repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
• If less than 1 V, replace the K20 engine control module.
• If between 4.8-5.2 V
4. Test or replace the B75C Multifunction Intake Air sensor.
Component Testing

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the B75C Multifunction Intake Air sensor.
Note: A thermometer can be used to test the sensor off the vehicle.
2. Test the IAT sensor 1 by varying the sensor temperature while monitoring the sensor resistance. Compare the readings with the Temperature Versus Resistance - Intake Air Temperature Sensor (Hitachi) Electrical SpecificationsTemperature Versus Resistance - Intake Air Temperature Sensor (Delco) Electrical Specifications table for Hitachi Sensors. The resistance values should be in range of the table values.
• If not within the specified range
