DTC P0111: Intake Air Temperature (IAT) Sensor 1 Circuit Range/Performance

P0111 - INTAKE AIR TEMPERATURE (IAT) SENSOR 1 CIRCUIT RANGE/PERFORMANCE

For Vehicles With 3.5L GTDI Engine 
Description:  This DTC sets when either of the following conditions are present.
When the intake air temperature (IAT) PID does not correlate with the charge air cooler temperature (CAC_T) or the intake air temperature 2 (IAT2) PIDs at ignition ON.
When the IAT PID exceeds the maximum calibrated temperature threshold while driving.
Possible Causes: 
  • Slow responding IAT sensor
  • Damaged IAT sensor
Diagnostic Aids:  The IAT sensor is located on the air filter housing.
For All Others 
Description:  This DTC sets when the IAT value is higher than a calibrated value indicating that the rationality test has failed and could prevent one 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 - 8 hours). This soak period allows IAT and other temperature sensors to stabilize and not differ by greater than a calibrated value. DTC P0111 sets when the IAT at engine start exceeds the other temperature sensors by greater than a calibrated value, typically 17°C (30°F).
Possible Causes: 
  • Damaged IAT sensor
Diagnostic Aids:  Make sure the IAT reading and the other temperature sensor readings are similar when the engine is cold.
