Pinpoint Test DA: Intake Air Temperature (IAT) Sensor: Introduction
This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:
- IAT sensor (12A697)
- integrated mass air flow/intake air temperature (MAF/IAT) sensor (12B579)
- harness circuits: IAT and SIGRTN
- powertrain control module (PCM) (12A650)
Voltage values calculated for VREF equal 5 volts. These values can vary by 15% due to sensor and VREF variations.
