DTC P0110: INTAKE AIR TEMPERATURE (IAT) SENSOR CIRCUIT Lexus LS II

CAUTIONIf ECM replacement is instructed in following testing, always ensure ECM harness connector and ground circuit are okay. If either are suspect, repair and repeat testing to confirm ECM malfunction.

Circuit Description

The IAT sensor is a thermistor built into the MAF sensor to monitor temperature of air flowing through MAF sensor. DTC is set when ECM detects a open or short circuit. ECM will operate in fail-safe mode if DTC P0110 is set. Possible causes are

  1. IAT sensor open or short circuit.
  2. IAT sensor.
  3. ECM.

Note. If DTCs P0110, P0115 and P0120 are output together, inspect ECM terminal E2 (ground) circuit. Repair as necessary. See appropriate wiring diagram in WIRING DIAGRAMS article.
