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 1/2 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 IAT sensor (see «IAT SENSOR REPLACEMENT»(ref-355276-S15501388922010012200000) ).
- Allow the IAT sensor to cool to ambient temperature.
- Note the ambient temperature.
- Connect the IAT sensor to its 2P connector, but do not install it on the intake manifold.
- Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
- Note the value of the IAT SENSOR quickly in the DATA LIST with the HDS.
- 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 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 its 2P connector, but do not install it on the intake manifold.
- Check the IAT SENSOR in the DATA LIST with the HDS. Does the IAT SENSOR change 50°F (28°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 PCM. NO -Go to step 13.
- Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
- Replace the IAT sensor (see «IAT SENSOR REPLACEMENT»(ref-355276-S15501388922010012200000) ).
- Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
- Reset the PCM with the HDS.
- Do the PCM idle learn procedure (see «PCM IDLE LEARN PROCEDURE»(ref-294703-S06414002682008081300000) ).
- Check for Pending or Confirmed DTC's with the HDS. Is DTC P0111 indicated from the ambient temperature? YES -Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the IAT sensor and the PCM, then go to step 1 . NO -Troubleshooting is complete. If any other Pending or Confirmed DTC's are indicated, go to the indicated «DTC'S TROUBLESHOOTING»(ref-355276-S17063065962010012200000) .
