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 sensor 1, ECT sensor 2, 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-291411-S21658236542008072800000) ).
- Allow the IAT sensor to cool to ambient temperature.
- Note the ambient temperature.
- Connect the IAT sensor to the 2P connector, but do not install the sensor onto the air cleaner.
- Turn the ignition switch ON (II).
- 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? YES - Go to step 13 . NO - Go to step 9 .
- Disconnect the IAT sensor from the 2P connector.
- Using a heat gun, blow hot air on the IAT sensor for a few seconds. Do not apply the heat longer than a few seconds or you will damage the sensor.
- Connect the IAT sensor to the 2P 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 61°F (34°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 OFF.
- Replace the IAT sensor (see «IAT SENSOR REPLACEMENT»(ref-291411-S21658236542008072800000) ).
- 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-291413-S23447131872008072800000) ).
- Check for Temporary DTCs or 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 Temporary DTCs or DTCs are indicated, go to the indicated DTCs troubleshooting.
