6-2-72 ENGINE GENERAL INFORMATION AND DIAGNOSIS (M13 ENGINE)
Troubleshooting
Step Action Yes No
1Was “Engine and Emission Control System
Check” performed?
Go to Step 2. Go to “Engine and Emis-
sion Control System
Check” in this section.
2 IAT sensor and its circuit check.
1) Connect scan tool with ignition switch turned
OFF.
2) Turn ON ignition switch.
3) Check intake air temp. displayed on scan
tool.
Is 165°C (329°F) indicated?
Go to Step 3. Intermittent trouble.
Check for intermittent
referring to “Intermittent
and Poor Connection
Inspection” in
Section 0A.
3 Check ECM voltage.
1) Disconnect connector from IAT sensor with
ignition switch turned OFF.
2) Check for proper connection to IAT sensor at
“LT GRN” and “BRN/WHT” wire terminals.
3) If OK, then turn ON ignition switch, check
voltage between “LT GRN” wire terminal of
IAT sensor connector and vehicle body
ground. See Fig. 1.
Is voltage about 4 – 6 V?
Go to Step 6. Go to Step 4.
4 Check IAT circuit insulation.
1) Disconnect connectors from ECM with igni-
tion switch turned OFF.
2) Measure resistance between “LT GRN” wire
terminal of IAT sensor connector and body
ground.
Is resistance infinity?
Go to Step 5. “LT GRN ” wire shorted to
ground circuit.
If wire are OK, substitute
a known-good ECM and
recheck.
5 Check IAT short circuit.
1) Turn ON ignition switch.
2) Check voltage between “LT GRN” wire termi-
nal of IAT sensor connector and vehicle body
ground.
Is voltage about 0 V?
Go to Step 6. “LT GRN ” wire shorted to
other circuits.
If wire are OK, substitute
a known-good ECM and
recheck.
6 Check IAT sensor according to “Mass Air Flow
(MAF) and Intake Air Temperature (IAT) Sensor
Inspection” in Section 6E2.
Is it in good condition?
Substitute a known-good
ECM and recheck.
Replace MAF and IAT
sensor.
