Note. Before you troubleshoot, record all freeze data and any on-board snapshot, and review GENERAL TROUBLESHOOTING INFORMATION .
- Check for poor connections or loose terminals at ECT sensors 1 and 2, and the IAT sensor. Are the connections and terminals OK? YES: Go to step 2 . NO: Repair the connections or terminals, then go to step 15 .
- Remove the MAF sensor/IAT sensor (see «MAF SENSOR/IAT SENSOR REPLACEMENT»(ref-320426-S41968704082009071400000) ).
- Allow IAT sensor to cool to ambient temperature.
- Note the ambient temperature.
- Connect the MAF sensor/IAT sensor to its 5P 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 HDS.
- Compare the value of the IAT SENSOR and 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 step 9 .
- Disconnect the MAF sensor/IAT sensor from its 5P 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 the 5P connector, but do not install the sensor onto the air cleaner.
- Check the IAT SENSOR in the DATA LIST with the HDS. Does the IAT SENSOR change 80°F (44°C) or more? YES: Intermittent failure, the 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 to LOCK (0).
- Replace the MAF sensor/IAT sensor (see «MAF SENSOR/IAT SENSOR REPLACEMENT»(ref-320426-S41968704082009071400000) ).
- Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
- Reset the ECM/PCM with the HDS.
- Do «ECM/PCM IDLE LEARN PROCEDURE»(ref-320447-S03803966382009071400000) ).
- Check for Pending or Confirmed DTCs with the HDS. Is DTC P0111 indicated? YES: Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the IAT sensor and the ECM/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.
