Diagnostic Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Dodge Stratus and 2005 Chrysler Sebring. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE - P0111-INTAKE AIR TEMPERATURE SENSOR PERFORMANCE

TEST ACTION APPLICABILITY
1 Ignition on, engine not running.
With the DRBIII®, read DTCs and record the related Freeze Frame data.
Is the Good Trip Counter displayed and equal to zero?
Yes --> Go To 2
No --> Refer to the INTERMITTENT CONDITION .
Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST VER - 5 .		 All
2 Turn the ignition off.
Disconnect the IAT Sensor harness connector.
NOTE: Visually inspect both the component and the PCM connectors. Look for damaged, partially broken wires, and backed out or corroded terminals.

Ignition on, engine not running.
Measure the voltage on the (K21) IAT Signal circuit in the IAT Sensor harness connector.
Is the voltage above 5.2 volts?
Yes --> Repair the short to battery voltage in the (K21) IAT Signal circuit.
Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST VER - 5 .
No --> Go To 3		 All
3 Turn the ignition off.
Disconnect the IAT Sensor harness connector.
Ignition on, engine not running.
With the DRBIII®, read the IAT Sensor voltage.
Is the voltage above 4.9 volts?
Yes --> Go To 4
No --> Go To 7		 All
4 Turn the ignition off.
Disconnect the IAT Sensor harness connector.
Using a jumper wire, jumper across the IAT Sensor harness connector.
Ignition on, engine not running.
With the DRBIII®, read the IAT Sensor voltage.
Is the voltage below 1.0 volt?
Yes --> Replace the IAT Sensor.
Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST VER - 5 .
No --> Go To 5		 All
5 Turn the ignition off.
Disconnect the IAT Sensor harness connector.
Disconnect the PCM harness connector.
CAUTION: DO NOT PROBE THE PCM HARNESS CONNECTORS. PROBING THE PCM HARNESS CONNECTORS WILL DAMAGE THE PCM TERMINALS RESULTING IN POOR TERMINAL TO PIN CONNECTION. INSTALL MILLER SPECIAL TOOL #8815 TO PERFORM DIAGNOSIS.

Measure the resistance of the (K21) IAT Signal circuit from the IAT Sensor harness connector to the appropriate terminal of special tool #8815.
Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms?
Yes --> Go To 6
No --> Repair the open in the (K21) IAT Signal circuit.
Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST VER - 5 .		 All
6 Turn the ignition off.
Disconnect the IAT Sensor harness connector.
Disconnect the PCM harness connector.
CAUTION: DO NOT PROBE THE PCM HARNESS CONNECTORS. PROBING THE PCM HARNESS CONNECTORS WILL DAMAGE THE PCM TERMINALS RESULTING IN POOR TERMINAL TO PIN CONNECTION. INSTALL MILLER SPECIAL TOOL #8815 TO PERFORM DIAGNOSIS.

Measure the resistance of the (K4) Sensor ground circuit from the IAT Sensor harness connector to the appropriate terminal of special tool #8815.
Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms?
Yes -->
NOTE: Before continuing, check the PCM harness connector terminals for corrosion, damage, or terminal push out. Repair as necessary. Replace and program the Powertrain Control Module in accordance with the Service Information.

Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST VER - 5 .
No --> Repair the open in the (K4) Sensor ground circuit.
Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST VER - 5 .		 All
7 Turn the ignition off.
Disconnect the IAT Sensor harness connector.
Disconnect the PCM harness connector.
Measure the resistance between ground and the (K21) IAT Signal circuit in the IAT Sensor harness connector.
Is the resistance below 100 ohms?
Yes --> Repair the short to ground in the (K21) IAT Signal circuit.
Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST VER - 5 .
No --> Go To 8		 All
8 Turn the ignition off.
Disconnect the IAT Sensor harness connector.
Disconnect the PCM harness connector.
Measure the resistance between the (K4) Sensor ground circuit and the (K21) IAT Sensor Signal circuit at the IAT Sensor harness connector.
Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms?
Yes --> Repair the (K4) Sensor ground circuit shorted to the (K21) IAT Signal circuit.
Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST VER - 5 .
No -->
NOTE: Before continuing, check the PCM harness connector terminals for corrosion, damage, or terminal push out. Repair as necessary. Replace and program the Powertrain Control Module in accordance with the Service Information.
