Note. Before you troubleshoot, record all freeze data and any on-board snapshot, and review the general troubleshooting information (see GENERAL TROUBLESHOOTING INFORMATION ).
- Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the ECT sensor and the IAT sensor. Are the connections and terminals OK? YES - Go to step 2. NO - Repair the connectors or terminals, then go to step 15 .
- Remove the IAT sensor (see «IAT SENSOR REPLACEMENT»(ref-220840-S24735224512006022100000) ).
- Allow IAT sensor to cool to 77°F (25°C).
- Note the ambient temperature.
- Connect the IAT sensor to the 2P connector, but do not install in the intake manifold.
- Turn the ignition switch ON (II).
- Note the value of IAT SENSOR quickly in the DATA LIST with the HDS.
- Compare the value of IAT SENSOR and the ambient temperature. Does the value of IAT SENSOR differ 5.4°F (3°C) or more? YES - Go to step 13 . NO - Go to step 9.
- Disconnect the IAT sensor from the 2P connector.
- Blow hot air on the IAT sensor with a heat gun.
- Connect IAT sensor to the 2P connector, but do not install in the intake manifold.
- Check the IAT SENSOR in the DATA LIST with the HDS. Does the IAT SENSOR change 58°F (32°C) or more? YES - Intermittent failure, system is OK at this time. Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the IAT sensor and the ECM/PCM. NO - Go to step 13.
- Turn the ignition switch OFF.
- Remove the IAT sensor (see «IAT SENSOR REPLACEMENT»(ref-220840-S24735224512006022100000) ).
- Turn the ignition switch ON (II).
- Reset the ECM/PCM with the HDS.
- Do the ECM/PCM idle learn procedure (see «ECM/PCM IDLE LEARN PROCEDURE»(ref-220843-S14332728472006022100000) ).
- Check for Temporary DTCs or DTCs with the HDS. Are any Temporary DTCs or DTCs indicated? YES - If DTC P0111 is indicated, check for poor connections or loose terminals at the IAT sensor and the ECM/PCM, then go to step 1 If any other Temporary DTCs or DTCs are indicated, go to the indicated «DTC TROUBLESHOOTING»(ref-220840-S22832464282006022100000) . NO - Troubleshooting is complete.
