DTC P00CE: Intake Air Temperature Measurement System - Multiple Sensor Correlation

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 32 other vehicles, including the 2011 Mercury Milan, 2011 Mercury Mariner, 2011 Mercury Grand Marquis, 2011 Lincoln Town Car, and 2011 Lincoln Navigator L. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
P00CE - INTAKE AIR TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENT SYSTEM - MULTIPLE SENSOR CORRELATION

Description:  The powertrain control module (PCM) monitors the intake air system for concerns at ignition start. The test fails when the intake air temperature (IAT), charge air cooler temperature (CAC_T) and the intake air temperature 2 (IAT2) PIDs are each greater than 16.67°C (30°F) different from each other at start up. This DTC sets when the PCM detects that each sensor is out of the calibrated range at engine start up after a soak period of at least 6 hours when a block heater is not used.
Possible Causes: 
  • Damaged sensors
  • Contaminated or blocked sensors
  • Slow responding sensors
Diagnostic Aids:  Compare all sensor readings to the ambient temperature to determine which sensor is reading correctly.
