Air Temperature Sensor ( Ambient / Intake ): Testing and Inspection

INTAKE AIR TEMPERATURE (EAT) SENSOR INSPECTION[L3]

NOTE: Before performing the following inspection, make sure to follow the procedure as indicated in the troubleshooting flowchart.

Resistance Inspection
1. Disconnect the mass air flow sensor connector.

Standard:

2. Verify that the resistance between MAF sensor terminals D and E is within the specification.
- If the monitor item status/specification (reference) is not within the specification, even though the EAT sensor resistance is within the specification, perform the "Circuit Open/Short Inspection".
- If not within the specification, replace the MAF sensor.

Circuit Open/Short Inspection




1. Disconnect the PCM connector.
2. Inspect the following wiring harnesses for an open or short circuit. (Continuity inspection)

Open circuit
- If there is no continuity, there is an open circuit. Repair or replace the wiring harness.
- MAF/IAT sensor terminal D and PCM terminal 1AH
- MAF/IAT sensor terminal E and PCM terminal 1AA

Short circuit
- If there is continuity, there is a short circuit. Repair or replace the wiring harness.
- MAF/IAT sensor terminal D and power supply
- MAF/IAT sensor terminal D and body ground
- MAF/IAT sensor terminal E and power supply
