Possible Causes

IAT SENSOR VOLTAGE ABOVE 4.6 VOLTS

(K21) IAT SIGNAL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO BATTERY VOLTAGE

IAT SENSOR INTERNAL FAILURE

(K21) IAT SIGNAL CIRCUIT OPEN

(K4) SENSOR GROUND CIRCUIT OPEN

PCM

DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE - P0113-INTAKE AIR TEMPERATURE SENSOR HIGH

TEST ACTION
1 Ignition on, engine not running.
With the DRBIII®, read the IAT Sensor voltage.
Is the voltage above 4.6 volts?
  1. Yes --> Go To 2
  2. No --> Refer to the INTERMITTENT CONDITION  symptom in the Driveability category.

    Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST VER - 5 - NGC .

2 Turn the ignition off.
Disconnect the IAT Sensor harness connector.
Ignition on, engine not running.
Measure the voltage of the (K21) IAT Signal circuit in the IAT Sensor harness connector.
Is the voltage above 5.2 volts?
  1. Yes --> Repair the short to battery voltage in the (K21) IAT Signal circuit.

    Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST VER - 5 - NGC .

  2. No --> Go To 3
3 Turn the ignition off.
Disconnect the IAT harness connector.
Connect a jumper wire between the (K21) IAT Signal circuit and the (K4) Sensor ground circuit in the IAT harness connector.
Ignition on, engine not running.
With the DRBIII®, read IAT voltage.
Is the voltage below 1.0 volt?
  1. Yes --> Replace the IAT Sensor.

    Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST VER - 5 - NGC .

  2. No --> Go To 4
4 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?
  1. Yes --> Go To 5
  2. No --> Repair the open in the (K21) IAT Signal circuit.

    Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST VER - 5 - NGC .

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 (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?
  1. Yes --> Go To 6
  2. No --> Repair the open in the (K4) Sensor ground circuit.

    Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST VER - 5 - NGC .
