DTC P007B: Charge Air Cooler Temperature Sensor Circuit Range/Performance (Bank 1)

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 33 other vehicles, including the 2010 Mercury Mountaineer, 2010 Mercury Milan, 2010 Mercury Mariner, 2010 Mercury Grand Marquis, and 2010 Lincoln Town Car. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
DTC P007B: CHARGE AIR COOLER TEMPERATURE SENSOR CIRCUIT RANGE/PERFORMANCE (BANK 1)

Description:  The powertrain control module (PCM) continuously monitors this sensor for concerns.
This DTC sets when the charge air cooler temperature (CAC_T) parameter identification (PID) does not correlate with the intake air temperature (IAT) or the intake air temperature 2 (IAT2) PIDs at ignition on. It will also set if the IAT PID reading is greater than a maximum calibrated value while driving.
Possible Causes: 
  • Damaged turbocharger boost pressure (TCBP)/charge air cooler temperature (CACT) sensor
  • Contaminated or blocked TCBP/CACT sensor
  • Slow responding TCBP/CACT sensor
Diagnostic Aids:  Check temperature values while engine is at ambient temperature, cold soak the engine for a minimum of 6 hours if necessary.
Check airflow through charge air cooler (CAC), remove debris if necessary.
The TCBP/CACT sensor is a dual function pressure and temperature sensor located on the intake air tube between the CAC and the throttle body.
