Intake Air Temperature (IAT) Sensor

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2012 Ford F550 Super Duty and 2012 Ford F450 Super Duty. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The IAT sensor is a thermistor which changes resistance as temperature changes. The resistance of the sensor decreases as the air temperature increases. The IAT provides air temperature information to the PCM which is used to determine transmission line pressure and shift scheduling.
