Diagnostic Test

1.CHECKING CONNECTORS







Is there any evidence of connector problems?

Yes


No
  • Go To2

2.IAT SENSOR - COLD

NOTE: Allow the engine to completely cool to ambient temperature.






Are the readings within 7°C (13°F) of each other?

Yes
  • Go To3


No
  • Check the wiring and connectors associated with the IAT Sensor for corrosion, damage or other problems. Repair as necessary. If wiring and connectors are o.k., replace the Intake Air Temperature Sensor.
  • Perform the ECM Verification Test Ver. 1 (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING).

3.AAT SENSOR - COLD

NOTE: Allow the engine to completely cool to ambient temperature.





Are the readings within 7°C (13°F) of each other?

Yes
  • Go To4


No
  • Check the wiring and connectors associated with the AAT Sensor for corrosion, damage or other problems. Repair as necessary. If wiring and connectors are o.k., replace the Ambient Air Temperature Sensor.
  • Perform the ECM Verification Test Ver. 1 (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING).

4.IAT SENSOR - HOT






Are the readings within 7°C (13°F) of each other?

Yes
  • Go To5


No
  • Check the wiring and connectors associated with the IAT Sensor for corrosion, damage or other problems. Repair as necessary. If wiring and connectors are o.k., replace the Intake Air Temperature Sensor.
  • Perform the ECM Verification Test Ver. 1 (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING).

5.AAT SENSOR - HOT




Is the Ambient Temperature Sensor reading correct outside temperature?

Yes


No
  • Check the wiring and connectors associated with the AAT Sensor for corrosion, damage or other problems. Repair as necessary. If wiring and connectors are o.k., replace the Ambient Air Temperature Sensor.
  • Perform the ECM Verification Test Ver. 1 (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING).
