DTC P0111: IAT Sensor Circuit Range/Performance Problem Honda Crosstour I

Note. Before you troubleshoot, record all freeze data and any on-board snapshot, and review the general troubleshooting information (see GENERAL TROUBLESHOOTING INFORMATION (+).

  1. 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 .
  2. Remove the MAF sensor/IAT sensor (see «MAF SENSOR/IAT SENSOR REPLACEMENT»(ref-360080-S20771661482010042600000) (+).
  3. Allow the MAF sensor/IAT sensor to cool to the ambient temperature.
  4. Note the ambient temperature.
  5. Connect the MAF sensor/IAT sensor to its up connector, but do not install it.
  6. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
  7. Quickly note the value of the IAT SENSOR quickly in the DATA LIST with the HAS.
  8. 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.
  9. Disconnect the MAF sensor/IAT sensor from its up connector.
  10. 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.
  11. Connect the MAF sensor/IAT sensor to its up connector, but do not install it.
  12. 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.
  13. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
  14. Replace the MAF sensor/IAT sensor (see «MAF SENSOR/IAT SENSOR REPLACEMENT»(ref-360080-S20771661482010042600000) (+).
  15. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
  16. Reset the PCM with the HAS.
  17. Do the PCM idle learn procedure (see «PCM IDLE LEARN PROCEDURE»(ref-360079-S22847966492010042600000) (+).
  18. 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.
