Monitor Description
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Toyota RAV4. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The ECM monitors the sensor voltage and uses this value to calculate the intake air temperature (IAT). When the sensor output voltage deviates from the normal operating range, the ECM interprets this as a fault in the IAT sensor and sets a DTC.
Example:
When the sensor voltage output equal to less than -40°C (-40°F), or more than 140°C (284°F), and either condition continue 0.5 second or more.
