IMPORTANT: The replacement ECM must be
programmed. Refer to section of the Service
Programming System (SPS) in this manual. 
Following ECM programming, the immobiliser system
(if equipped) must be linked to the ECM. Refer to
section 11 “Immobiliser System-ECM replacement” for
the ECM/Immobiliser linking procedure.

Condition for setting the DTC and action taken when the DTC sets

Circuit Description

The IAT sensor is a thermistor. A temperature changes

the resistance value. And it changes voltage. In other
words it measures a temperature value. Low air
temperature produces a high resistance.

The ECM supplies 5 volts signal to the IAT sensor
through resisters in the ECM and measures the voltage.
The signal voltage will be high when the air temperature
is cold, and it will be low when the air temperature is hot. 
The output voltage excessively high or low, DTC P0110
(Symptom Code 1) or P0110 (Symptom Code 2) will be
stored.

Diagnostic Aids

An intermittent may be caused by the following:

• Poor connections.

• Misrouted harness.

• Rubbed through wire insulation.

• Broken wire inside the insulation.
Check for the following conditions:

• Poor connection at ECM-Inspect harness connectors

for backed out terminals, improper mating, broken
locks, improperly formed or damaged terminals, and
poor terminal to wire connection.

• Damaged harness-Inspect the wiring harness for

damage. If the harness appears to be OK, observe
the  “Intake Air Temperature” display on the Tech2
while moving connectors and wiring harness related
to the sensor.
