P0111 - INTAKE AIR TEMPERATURE (IAT) SENSOR 1 CIRCUIT RANGE/PERFORMANCE
| Description: | Indicates the IAT rationality test has failed. This DTC indicates that the IAT value is higher than a calibrated value and could prevent 1 or more on-board diagnostic (OBD) monitors from completing. The PCM runs this logic after an engine off and a calibrated soak period (typically 6 hours). This soak period allows IAT and engine coolant temperature (CHT or ECT) to stabilize and not differ by more than a calibrated value. DTC P0111 is set when: the IAT at engine start exceeds the ECT or CHT by more than a calibrated value, typically 17°C (30°F). |

| Possible Causes: |

| Diagnostic Aids: | Make sure the IAT and the CHT or ECT are similar when the engine is cold. | |||
