Hummer H2. Manual — part 1572

DTC P1112

Circuit Description

The intake air temperature (IAT) sensor is a variable resistor. The IAT sensor has a signal circuit and a low
reference circuit. The IAT sensor measures the temperature of the air entering the engine. The powertrain
control module (PCM) supplies 5 volts to the IAT signal circuit and a ground for the IAT low reference circuit.
When the IAT sensor is cold, the sensor resistance is high. When the air temperature increases, the sensor
resistance decreases. With high sensor resistance, the PCM detects a high voltage on the IAT signal circuit.

With lower sensor resistance, the PCM detects a lower voltage on the IAT signal circuit. If the PCM detects an
intermittent low IAT signal voltage, indicating a high temperature, DTC P1112 sets.

Conditions for Running the DTC

z

DTCs P0112, P0500, P0502, and P0503 are not set.

z

The engine run time is more than 45 seconds.

z

The vehicle speed is more than 40 km/h (25 mph).

z

The ECT sensor parameter is less than 125°C (257°F).

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The PCM detects that the IAT sensor parameter is more than 128°C (262°F) intermittently for a calibrated
amount of time.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

z

The control module stores the DTC information into memory when the diagnostic runs and fails.

z

The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) will not illuminate.

z

The control module records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The control module
stores this information in the Failure Records.

z

The driver information center, if equipped, may display a message.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

z

A current DTC Last Test Failed clears when the diagnostic runs and passes.

z

A history DTC clears after 40 consecutive warm-up cycles, if no failures are reported by this or any other
non-emission related diagnostic.

z

Clear the DTC with a scan tool.

Diagnostic Aids

z

An IAT sensor or PCM which is intermittently shorted, open, or skewed is possible, yet very unlikely.

z

A skewed sensor could result in poor driveability conditions.

z

If an intermittent condition is suspected, refer to Intermittent Conditions .

DTC P1114

Circuit Description

The engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor is a variable resistor, that measures the temperature of the engine
coolant. The powertrain control module (PCM) supplies 5 volts to the ECT signal circuit and a ground for the
ECT low reference circuit. When the ECT is cold, the sensor resistance is high. When the ECT increases, the
sensor resistance decreases. With high sensor resistance, the PCM detects a high voltage on the ECT signal
circuit. With lower sensor resistance, the PCM detects a lower voltage on the ECT signal circuit. If the PCM
detects an excessively low ECT signal voltage, which is a high temperature indication, DTC P1114 sets.

Conditions for Running the DTC

The engine run time is more than 10 seconds.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The PCM detects that the ECT sensor parameter is more than 138°C (280°F) intermittently for a calibrated

Use the Temperature vs. Resistance Value scale to test the coolant sensor at various temperature levels to
evaluate the possibility of a skewed sensor. A skewed sensor could result in poor driveability conditions.
