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 ECT sensors 1, ECT sensor 2, and the MAF sensor/IAT sensor. Are the connections and terminals OK? YES -Go to next step. NO -Repair the connections or terminals, then go to step 15 .
- Remove the MAF sensor/IAT sensor (see «MAF SENSOR/IAT SENSOR REPLACEMENT»(ref-360080-S20771661482010042600000) (+).
- Allow the MAF sensor/IAT sensor to cool to the ambient temperature.
- Note the ambient temperature.
- Connect the MAF sensor/IAT sensor to its up connector, but do not install it.
- Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
- Quickly note the value of the IAT SENSOR quickly in the DATA LIST with the HAS.
- Compare the value of the IAT SENSOR to the ambient temperature. Does the value of the IAT SENSOR differ 5.4 °F (3 °C) or more from the ambient temperature? YES -Go to step 13 . NO -Go to next step.
- Disconnect the MAF sensor/IAT sensor from its up connector.
- Using a heat gun, blow hot air on the MAF sensor/IAT sensor for a few seconds. Do not apply the heat longer than a few seconds or you will damage the sensor.
- Connect the MAF sensor/IAT sensor to its up connector, but do not install it.
- Check the IAT SENSOR in the DATA LIST with the HAS. Does the IAT SENSOR change 68 °F (38 °C) or more? YES -Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the MAF sensor/IAT sensor and the PCM. NO -Go to next step.
- Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
- Replace the MAF sensor/IAT sensor (see «MAF SENSOR/IAT SENSOR REPLACEMENT»(ref-360080-S20771661482010042600000) (+).
- Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
- Reset the PCM with the HAS.
- Do the PCM idle learn procedure (see «PCM IDLE LEARN PROCEDURE»(ref-360079-S22847966492010042600000) (+).
- Check for Pending or Confirmed DTCs with the HAS. Is DTC P0111 indicated? YES -Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the MAF sensor/IAT sensor and the PCM, then go to step 1 . NO -Troubleshooting is complete. If any other Pending or Confirmed DTCs are indicated, go to the indicated DTC's troubleshooting.
