TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS (The most 
likely causes for this code to be set are:)

• Intake air temperature sensor failed.

• Connector damage

• Harness damage

• ECM failed.

DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tools:

• MB991958: Scan Tool (M.U.T.-III Sub Assembly)

• MB991824: V.C.I.

• MB991827: USB Cable

• MB991910: Main Harness A

STEP 1. Using scan tool MB991958, check data list item 5: 
Intake Air Temperature Sensor.

CAUTION

To prevent damage to scan tool MB991958, always turn the 
ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position before con-
necting or disconnecting scan tool MB991958.
(1) Connect scan tool MB991958 to the data link connector.
(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(3) Set scan tool MB991958 to the data reading mode for item 

5, Intake Air Temperature Sensor.

• The intake air temperature and temperature shown with 

the scan tool should approximately match.

(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is the sensor operating properly?

YES : It can be assumed that this malfunction is intermittent. 

Refer to GROUP 00, How to Use 
Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points 

− How to 

Cope with Intermittent Malfunctions 

P.00-15

.

NO :  Go to Step 2.

STEP 2. Check harness connector A-07 at the intake air 
temperature sensor and harness connector B-11 at the 
ECM for damage.
Q: Is the harness connector in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 3.
NO :  Repair it. Refer to GROUP 00E, Harness Connector 

Inspection 

P.00E-2

. Then go to Step 5.

STEP 3. Check for short circuit to ground between the 
intake air temperature sensor connector A-07 and the ECM 
connector B-11.
(1) Disconnect the intake air temperature sensor A-07 and the 

ECM connector B-11.

(2) Check for the continuity between the intake air temperature 

sensor A-07 (terminal No. 1) and ground.

• Not continuity.

Q: Is the harness wire in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 4.
NO :  Repair it. Then go to Step 5.

STEP 4. Check the intake air temperature sensor.
(1) Disconnect the intake air temperature sensor connector 

A-07.

(2) Remove the mass airflow sensor.
(3) Measure the resistance between intake air temperature 

sensor side connector terminal No. 1 and No. 4.

(4) Measure resistance while heating the sensor using a hair 

drier.

Standard value:

13 

− 17 kΩ [at −20°C (−4°F)]

5.3 

− 6.7 kΩ [at 0°C (32°F)]

2.3 

− 3.0 kΩ [at 20°C (68°F)]

1.0 

− 1.5 kΩ [at 40°C (104°F)]

0.56 

− 0.76 kΩ [at 60°C (140°F)]

0.30 

− 0.45 kΩ [at 80°C (176°F)]

Q: Is the measured resistance at the standard value?

YES : Replace the mass airflow sensor. Then go to Step 5.
NO :  Go to Step 5.

STEP 5. Test the OBD-II drive cycle.
(1) Carry out a test drive with the drive cycle pattern. Refer to 

Diagnostic Function 

− OBD-II Drive Cycle − Pattern 22 

P.13B-11

.

(2) Check the diagnostic trouble code (DTC).
Q: Is DTC P0112 set?

YES : Replace the ECM. When the ECM is replaced, 

register the ID code. Refer to GROUP 42B, Diagnosis 
− ID Codes Registration Judgment Table <Vehicles 

with KOS> 

P.42B-15

 or GROUP 42C, Diagnosis 

− ID

CIRCUIT OPERATION

• Approximately 5 volts are applied to the intake air 

temperature sensor output terminal (terminal No. 
1) from the ECM (terminal No. 89) via the resistor 
in the ECM. The ground terminal (terminal No. 4) 
is grounded with ECM (terminal No. 88).

• The intake air temperature sensor is a negative 

temperature coefficient type of resistor. When the 
intake air temperature rises, the resistance 
decreases.

• The intake air temperature sensor output voltage 

increases when the resistance increases and 
decreases when the resistance decreases.

.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

• The intake air temperature sensor converts the 

intake air temperature to a voltage.

• The ECM checks whether this voltage is within a 

specified range.

.

DESCRIPTIONS OF MONITOR METHODS

Intake air temperature sensor output voltage is out of 

specified range.

.
