DTC P0112: Intake Air Temperature Circuit Low Input; DTC P0113: Intake Air Temperature Circuit High Input [08/2017 - 08/2018]: Description
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Toyota Sequoia, 2017 Toyota Sequoia, and 2016 Toyota Sequoia. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- The Intake Air Temperature (IAT) sensor, mounted on the Mass Air Flow (MAF) meter, monitors the IAT. The IAT sensor has a built-in thermistor with a resistance that varies according to the temperature of the intake air. When the IAT is low, the resistance of the thermistor increases. When the temperature is high, the resistance drops. These variations in resistance are transmitted to the ECM as voltage changes (Refer to above chart).
- The IAT sensor is powered by a 5 V supply from the THA terminal of the ECM, via resistor R.
- Resistor R and the IAT sensor are connected in series. When the resistance value of the IAT sensor changes, according to changes in the IAT, the voltage at terminal THA also varies. Based on this signal, the ECM increases the fuel injection volume when the engine is cold to improve driveability.
HINT:
When DTC P0112 or P0113 is set, the ECM enters fail-safe mode. During fail-safe mode, the IAT is estimated to be 20°C (68°F) by the ECM. Fail-safe mode continues until a pass condition is detected.
| DTC No. | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area |
|---|---|---|
| P0112 | Short in IAT sensor circuit for 0.5 seconds (1 trip detection logic) |
|
| P0113 | Open in IAT sensor circuit for 0.5 seconds (1 trip detection logic) |

HINT:
When any of these DTCs are set, check the IAT by entering the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / All Data / Intake Air.
| Temperature Displayed | Malfunction |
