Intake Air Temperature Sensor
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Mazda Tribute, 2002 Mazda B4000, 2002 Mazda B3000, and 2002 Mazda B2300. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
On some models, IAT sensor is part of Mass Airflow (MAF) sensor assembly. If all 6 terminals of MAF sensor connector are being used, IAT sensor is integral to MAF sensor. See WIRING DIAGRAMS
article.
Intake Air Temperature (IAT) sensor uses a 5-volt reference voltage during engine operation. To check IAT signal voltage, backprobe between signal terminal and ground with engine running. To check sensor resistance, disconnect sensor and measure resistance between sensor terminals. For specifications, see ENGINE COOLANT & INTAKE AIR TEMPERATURE SENSOR SPECIFICATIONS table. For additional testing information, see appropriate SELF-DIAGNOSTICS article.
