Code No. 13 Intake air temperature sensor system Probable cause
Range of Check
D Ignition switch: ON
D Excluding 60 seconds after the ignition switch is turned to ON or immediately
after the engine starts.
Set conditions
D Sensor output voltage is 4.6 V or more (corresponding to an intake air temperature
of –45_C or less) for 4 seconds.
or
D Sensor output voltage is 0.2V or less (corresponding to an intake air temperature
of 125_C or more) for 4 seconds.
D Malfunction of the intake air temperature sensor
D Improper connector contact, open circuit or
short-circuited harness wire of the intake air
temperature sensor circuit
D Malfunction of the engine-ECU
OK
Check trouble symptom.
Check the intake air temperature sen-
sor. (Refer to P.13-32.)
NG
