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

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
P0111 - INTAKE AIR TEMPERATURE (IAT) SENSOR 1 CIRCUIT RANGE/PERFORMANCE

Description:  Indicates the IAT rationality test has failed. This DTC indicates that the IAT value is higher than a calibrated value and could prevent one or more on-board diagnostic (OBD) monitors from completing.
The powertrain control module (PCM) runs this logic after an engine off and a calibrated soak period (typically 6 hours). This soak period allows IAT and engine coolant temperature (ECT) or cylinder head temperature (CHT) to stabilize and not differ by more than a calibrated value. DTC P0111 sets when the IAT at engine start exceeds the ECT or CHT by more than a calibrated value, typically 17°C (30°F).
Possible Causes: 
  • IAT Sensor
Diagnostic Aids:  Make sure the IAT and the CHT or ECT are similar when the engine is cold.
