P0112-INTAKE AIR TEMP SENSOR VOLTAGE TOO LOW

9 - 1530

ENGINE - ELECTRICAL DIAGNOSTICS - SRT-10

DR/DH

P0112-INTAKE AIR TEMP SENSOR VOLTAGE TOO LOW (CONTINUED)

For the Engine System Schematic circuit diagram (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - SCHEMATICS AND DIAGRAMS).

For a complete wiring diagram Refer to Section 8W.

•

When Monitored:
With the ignition on and battery voltage greater than 10.4 volts.

•

Set Condition:
When the Inlet Air Temp Sensor Signal circuit voltage is less than 0.8 of a volt.

Possible Causes

(K21) IAT SIGNAL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO GROUND

(K21) IAT SIGNAL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO THE (K900) SENSOR GROUND CIRCUIT

INTAKE AIR TEMPERATURE SENSOR

PCM

Always perform the Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE -
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING).

Diagnostic Test

1.

IAT SENSOR VOLTAGE BELOW 0.078 OF A VOLT

Ignition on, engine not running.

With a scan tool, read the IAT voltage.

Is the voltage below 0.078 of a volt?

Yes

>> Go To 2

No

>> Refer to the INTERMITTENT CONDITION Diagnostic Procedure. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - DIAGNOSIS

AND TESTING)

2.

IAT SENSOR

Turn the ignition off.

Disconnect the IAT Sensor harness connector.

Ignition on, engine not running.

With a scan tool, read IAT voltage.

Is the voltage above 0.05 of a volt?

Yes

>> Replace the Intake Air Temperature Sensor.

Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - STANDARD PROCEDURE)

No

>> Go To 3

P0112-INTAKE AIR TEMP SENSOR VOLTAGE TOO LOW (CONTINUED)

3.

(K21) IAT SIGNAL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO GROUND

Turn the ignition off.

Disconnect the C2 PCM harness connector.

Measure the resistance between ground and the (K21) IAT Signal cir-
cuit in the IAT Sensor harness connector.

Is the resistance below 100 ohms?

Yes

>> Repair the short to ground in the (K21) IAT Signal circuit.

Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer
to 9 - ENGINE - STANDARD PROCEDURE)

No

>> Go To 4

4.

(K21) IAT SIGNAL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO THE (K900) SENSOR GROUND CIRCUIT

Measure the resistance between the (K21) IAT Signal circuit and the
(K900) Sensor ground circuit in the IAT Sensor harness connector.

Is the resistance below 100 ohms?

Yes

>> Repair the short between the (K900) Sensor ground circuit

and the (K21) IAT Sensor Signal circuit.

Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer
to 9 - ENGINE - STANDARD PROCEDURE)

No

>> Go To 5

PCM

NOTE: Before continuing, check the PCM harness connector terminals for corrosion, damage, or terminal
push out. Repair as necessary.
Using the schematics as a guide, inspect the wire harness and connectors. Pay particular attention to all Power and
Ground circuits.

Were there any problems found?

Yes

>> Repair as necessary.

Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - STANDARD PROCEDURE)

No

>> Replace and program the Powertrain Control Module per Service Information.

Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - STANDARD PROCEDURE)
