DTC P0111 | IAT sensor circuit range/performance problem
--- | ---
DETECTION CONDITION | • If the intake air temperature is higher than the engine coolant temperature by 40 °C {72 °F} for 60 s with key on, the PCM determines that there is a IAT sensor performance problem. Diagnostic support note • This is a continuous monitor (CCM). • The MIL illuminates if the PCM detects the above malfunction condition in two consecutive drive cycles or in one drive cycle while the DTC for the same malfunction has been stored in the PCM. • PENDING CODE is available if the PCM detects the above malfunction condition during the first drive cycle. • FREEZE FRAME DATA (Mode 2/Mode 12) is available. • The DTC is stored in the PCM memory.
POSSIBLE CAUSE | • MAF/IAT sensor connector or terminals malfunction • IAT sensor malfunction • PCM connector or terminals malfunction • PCM malfunction

Diagnostic procedure

STEP | INSPECTION | ACTION
--- | --- | ---
1 | VERIFY FREEZE FRAME DATA (MODE 12) HAS BEEN RECORDED • Has the FREEZE FRAME DATA (Mode 12) been recorded? | Yes | Go to the next step.
No | Record the FREEZE FRAME DATA (Mode 12) on the repair order, then go to the next step.
2 | VERIFY RELATED SERVICE INFORMATION AVAILABILITY • Verify related Service Information availability. • Is any related Service Information available? | Yes | Perform repair or diagnosis according to the available Service Information. • If the vehicle is not repaired, go to the next step.
No | Go to the next step.
3 | INSPECT MAF/IAT SENSOR CONNECTOR AND TERMINALS • Turn the ignition switch off. • Disconnect the MAF/IAT sensor connector. • Inspect for poor connection (such as damaged/pulled-out pins, corrosion). • Is there any malfunction? | Yes | Repair or replace the connector or terminals, then go to Step 6.
No | Go to the next step.
4 | INSPECT IAT SENSOR • Inspect the IAT sensor. (See INTAKE AIR TEMPERATURE (IAT) SENSOR INSPECTION [L8, LF].) • Is there any malfunction? | Yes | Replace the MAF/IAT sensor, then go to Step 6. (See MASS AIR FLOW (MAF)/INTAKE AIR TEMPERATURE (IAT) SENSOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [L8, LF].)
No | Go to the next step.
5 | INSPECT PCM CONNECTOR AND TERMINALS • Disconnect the PCM connector. • Inspect for poor connection (such as damaged/pulled-out pins, corrosion). • Is there any malfunction? | Yes | Repair or replace the connector or terminals, then go to the next step.
No | Go to the next step.
6 | VERIFY DTC TROUBLESHOOTING COMPLETED • Make sure to reconnect all disconnected connectors. • Clear the DTC from the PCM memory using the M-MDS. (See AFTER REPAIR PROCEDURE [L8, LF].) • Start the engine under the FREEZE FRAME DATA (Mode 12) condition. • Perform the DTC Reading Procedure. (See ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC TEST [L8, LF].) • Is the PENDING CODE for this DTC present? | Yes | Replace the PCM, then go to the next step. (See PCM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [L8, LF].)
No | Go to the next step.
7 | VERIFY AFTER REPAIR PROCEDURE • Perform the “AFTER REPAIR PROCEDURE”. (See AFTER REPAIR PROCEDURE [L8, LF].) • Are any DTCs present? | Yes | Go to the applicable DTC troubleshooting. (See DTC TABLE [L8, LF].)
No | DTC troubleshooting completed.
