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 and 2, and the MAF sensor/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-336453-S25816260512009072700000) ).
- Allow the 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 the sensor onto the air cleaner.
- 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 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 its 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 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 IAT sensor and the 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-336453-S25816260512009072700000) ).
- 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-336473-S09468920992009072700000) ).
- Check for Pending DTCs or Confirmed DTCs with the HDS. Is DTC P0111 indicated? 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 DTCs or Confirmed DTCs are indicated, Go to the indicated DTC's troubleshooting.
