CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The intake air temp. sensor is built into the intake manifold and
senses the intake air temperature. A thermistor built in the sensor changes the resistance value according to the intake air
temperature. The lower the intake air temperature, the greater
the thermistor, the lower the thermistor resistance value (See
Fig.1).The intake air temperature sensor is connected to the engine ECU. The 5 V power source voltage in the engine ECU is
applied to the intake air temperature sensor from the terminal
THA via a resistor R. That is the resistor R and the intake air
temperature sensor are connected in series. When the resistance value of the intake air temperature sensor changes.
Based on this signal, the engine ECU increases the fuel injection volume to improve drivability during cold engine operation.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT:
If DTC22 (Water Temp. Sensor Circuit Malfunction), 24 (Intake Air Temp. Sensor Circuit Malfunction), 35
(Turbo Pressure Sensor Circuit Malfunction) and 39 (Fuel Temp. Sensor Circuit Malfunction) are output
simultaneously, E2 (sensor ground) may be open.

DIAGNOSTICS
ENGINE
PREPARATION:
(a) Connect the handheld tester to the DLC3.
(b) Turn the ignition switch ON and push the handheld tester main switch ON.
CHECK:
Read temperature value on the handheld tester.
OK:
Same as actual intake air temperature.
HINT:
S
If there is open circuit, handheld tester indicates 40C (40F).
S
If there is short circuit, handheld tester indicates 140C (284F) or more.
