Pinpoint Test DU: Intake Air Temperature 2 Sensor: Introduction: Notes

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 30 other vehicles, including the 2004 Mercury Sable, 2004 Mercury Mountaineer, 2004 Mercury Monterey, 2004 Mercury Marauder, and 2004 Mercury Grand Marquis. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:
  • Intake Air Temperature 2 (IAT2) sensor (12A697).
  • Integrated Intake Air Temperature 2 (IAT2) sensor portion of the Thermal Manifold Absolute Pressure (TMAP) sensor (9F479).
  • Harness circuits: IAT2 & SIGRTN.
  • Powertrain Control Module (PCM) (12A650).

Voltage values calculated for VREF = 5 volts. These values can vary by 15% due to sensor and VREF variations  .
