P0112, P0113 IAT SENSOR

Description

INFOID:0000000003133328

The intake air temperature sensor is built-into mass air flow sensor
(1). The sensor detects intake air temperature and transmits a signal
to the ECM.
The temperature sensing unit uses a thermistor which is sensitive to
the change in temperature. Electrical resistance of the thermistor
decreases in response to the temperature rise.
NOTE:
ECM uses only the intake air temperature sensor (bank 1) for engine
control and self-diagnosis. It does not use the intake air temperature
sensor (bank 2).

<Reference data>

*: These data are reference values and are measured between ECM terminals 67
(Intake air temperature sensor) and 68 (Sensor ground).

P0117, P0118 ECT SENSOR

Description

INFOID:0000000003133332

The engine coolant temperature sensor is used to detect the engine
coolant temperature. The sensor modifies a voltage signal from the
ECM. The modified signal returns to the ECM as the engine coolant
temperature input. The sensor uses a thermistor which is sensitive to
the change in temperature. The electrical resistance of the ther-
mistor decreases as temperature increases.

<Reference data>

*: These data are reference values and are measured between ECM terminals 71
(Engine coolant temperature sensor) and 84 (Sensor ground).
