DTC Description Confirmed DTC Pending DTC
P0096 IAT Sensor 2 Circuit Range/Performance Problem    

DTC (PGM-FI)

  1. Connector visual check:

    Check for poor connections or loose terminals of these connectors.

    • ECT sensor 1
    • ECT sensor 2
    • MAF sensor/IAT sensor 1
    • IAT sensor 2

    Are the connections and terminals OK?

    YES 

    Go to step 2.

    NO 

    Repair the connections or terminals.

  2. IAT sensor 2 performance check (low temperature)

    -1. Remove IAT sensor 2 .

    -2. Allow IAT sensor 2 to cool to the ambient temperature.

    -3. Note the ambient temperature.

    -4. Connect IAT sensor 2 to its 2P connector, but do not install it.

    -5. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.

    -6. Quickly note the value of IAT Sensor (2) in the DATA LIST with the HDS.

    IAT Sensor (2)    

    -7. Compare the value of IAT Sensor (2) to the ambient temperature.

    Does the value of IAT Sensor (2) differ 5.4 deg. F (3 deg. C) or more from the ambient temperature?

    YES 

    Replace IAT sensor 2 .

    NO 

    Go to step 3.

  3. IAT sensor 2 performance check (high temperature)

    -1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

    -2. Disconnect the following connector.

    -3. Using a heat gun, blow hot air on IAT sensor 2 for a few seconds. Do not apply the heat longer than a few seconds or you will damage the sensor.

    -4. Connect IAT sensor 2 to its 2P connector, but do not install it.

    -5. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.

    -6. Check IAT Sensor (2) in the DATA LIST with the HDS.

    Values Unit
    IAT Sensor (2)    

    Does IAT Sensor (2) change 76 deg. F (42 deg. C) or more?

    YES 

    Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. Check for poor connections or loose terminals at IAT sensor 2 and the PCM. If the on-board snapshot of this DTC is recorded, try to reproduce the failure under the same conditions with the on-board snapshot .

    NO 

    Replace IAT sensor 2 .
