DTC P0112 or P0113

Diagnostic Instructions


• Perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle prior to using this diagnostic procedure.

• Review Strategy Based Diagnosis for an overview of the diagnostic approach.

• Diagnostic Procedure Instructions provides an overview of each diagnostic category.


DTC Descriptors

DTC P0112 00

Intake Air Temperature (IAT) Sensor 1 Circuit Low Voltage

DTC P0113 00

Intake Air Temperature (IAT) Sensor 1 Circuit High Voltage

Circuit/System Description

The intake air temperature (IAT) sensor 1 is an integral part of the mass air flow (MAF) sensor. The IAT sensor is a variable resistor that measures the temperature of the intake air. The engine control module (ECM) supplies 5 V to the IAT signal circuit and a ground for the IAT low reference circuit.


The following table illustrates the difference between temperature, resistance, and voltage:

IAT IAT Resistance IAT Signal Voltage
Cold

High

High

Warm

Low

Low



Conditions for Running the DTC


• The ignition is ON or the engine is running.

• The ignition voltage is greater than 8.5 V.

• The DTCs run continuously when the above conditions are met.


Conditions for Setting the DTC

P0112

The ECM detects that an IAT 1 circuit is shorted to ground.

P0113

The ECM detects that an IAT 1 circuit is open or shorted to voltage.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

DTCs P0112 and P0113 are Type B DTCs.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

DTCs P0112 and P0113 are Type B DTCs.

Diagnostic Aids


• If the engine has sat overnight, the IAT sensor and the engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor values should display within 3°C (5°F).

• High resistance on either the IAT sensor signal circuit or the IAT sensor low reference circuit may set a DTC.

Circuit/System Verification


1. Ignition ON, check the diagnostic trouble code (DTC) information with a scan tool. DTC P0112 or P0113 are not set.

2. Operate the vehicle within the conditions for running the DTC to verify the DTC does not reset. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records data.


Circuit/System Testing


1. Ignition OFF disconnect the harness connector at the B75 Mass Air Flow Sensor.

2. Test for less than 5 Ω between the low reference circuit terminal 1 and ground.

3. If greater than the specified range, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance, or for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 Engine Control Module.

4. Ignition ON, test for 4.8-5.2 V between the IAT signal circuit terminal 3 and ground.

5. If less than the specified range, test the signal circuit for an open or a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 Engine Control Module.

6. If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 Engine Control Module.

7. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the B75 Mass Air Flow Sensor.


Component Testing

Static Test

Test the resistance between the signal circuit terminal 3 and the low reference circuit terminal 1 at various ambient temperatures. Note the measured values. Compare those measurements to the Temperature Versus Resistance (ECT and IAT Sensor) Temperature Versus Resistance (Exhaust Temperature Sensor)

Repair Instructions

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
