WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Buick LaCrosse and 2006 Buick Allure. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF. Disconnect the MAF/IAT sensor. Connect a DMM between the signal circuit of the IAT sensor and a good ground. Measure for 5.2 volts.
- If more than 5.2 volts, then test the signal circuit for a short to voltage.
- Connect a 3-amp fused jumper wire between the signal circuit of the IAT sensor and the low reference circuit of the IAT sensor. Observe the IAT sensor parameter with a scan tool for 130°C (266°F).
- If more than 130°C (266°F), then test the IAT signal circuit for a short to any 5-volt reference circuit or for an intermittent and for a poor connection at the IAT sensor. If circuits test OK, then replace the MAF/IAT sensor.
- Connect a 3-amp fused jumper wire between the signal circuit of the IAT sensor and a good ground. Observe the IAT sensor parameter with a scan tool for 130°C (266°F).
- If more than 130°C (266°F), then test the IAT sensor low reference circuit for high resistance or for an open. Test for an intermittent and for a poor connection at the control module. If circuits test OK, then replace the control module.
