Monitor Description

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

After Warmed Engine Stop

The ECM monitors the intake air temperature variation in the period from when the engine was warmed up on the previous trip until the next engine start. If the change in intake air temperature sensor output is less than the threshold, it is determined that a malfunction has occurred in the intake air temperature sensor. When this is detected, the MIL is illuminated and the DTC is stored.

After Cold Engine Start

The monitor runs when the engine is started cold after 5 hours or more have elapsed since the engine stopped. If the intake air temperature sensor output variation until the engine has warmed up completely is less than the threshold, it is determined that a malfunction has occurred in the intake air temperature sensor. When this is detected in 2 consecutive driving cycles, the MIL is illuminated and the DTC is stored.
