SOURCE: cant find the iat sensor on 91 s10

The IAT or MAT sensor (as equipped), is a thermistor (resistor which changes value based on temperature) mounted either in the air intake snorkel or the manifold (depending on the application).

sounds like the IAT is disconnected, it is either in the flex hose from the air cleaner to the engine or in the air filter housing, on my GM product car it is in the air intake hose, it is small and has a 2 wire connector to it, just pushes and pulls in and out of the flexible air intake hose.

Yes. That is exactly it. The Air Intake Temp Sensor is built into the Mass Air Flow Sensor on the Air Filter Box. Below is a picture...

The IAT sensor is most of the time located along the intake tube right after Between the throttle body and MAP sensor. Just follow your air intake tube from your air filter housing to the Throttle body.
Good luck.

SOURCE: where is the iat sensor located on a 1999 chevy cavalier 4cyl

The Intake Air Temperature (IAT) sensor determines the air temperature inside the intake manifold. Resistance changes in response to the ambient air temperature. The sensor has a negative temperature coefficient. As the temperature of the sensor rises the resistance across the sensor decreases. This provides a signal to the PCM indicating the temperature of the incoming air charge. This sensor helps the PCM to determine spark timing and air/fuel ratio. Information from this sensor is added to the pressure sensor information to calculate the air mass being sent to the cylinders. The IAT is a two wire sensor, a 5-volt reference signal is sent to the sensor and the signal return is based upon the change in the measured resistance due to temperature.

4x4 4.0l V6. What are the probable causes of DTCs P0112, P0117, P0122, P0513, P0556, and P0565?

code p 0112 refers to intake air temp (IAT) sensor --circuit malfunction===cause --wiring short to graound--wiring short to positive --IAT sensor ---ECM
code p 0117 refers to engine coolant temp (ECT) sensor--circuit malfunction=== causes --coolant thermostat---wiring short to ground--wiring short to positive ---ECT sensor
code p 0122 refers to throttle position (TP) sensor A/ accelerator pedal position (APP) sensor A low input === causes wiring short to ground--TP/APP sensor --ECM
There are 3 responses to p 0122 and all refer to TP switch /sensor plus wiring open /short to ground/ short to positive
code p 0513 refers to incorrect immobilizer key=== causes immobilizer system
code p 0556 refers to brake booster pressure sensor---circuit range / performance=== causes --wiring---poor connection---brake booster pressure sensor---ECM
code p 0565 refers to cruise control master switch. off signal --malfunction === causes wiring---cruise control master switch--ECM
by reading all the codes you will see that common causes are wiring problems and ECM so may be a quick check would be to replace the ECM with a known working unit first and work back from there

What does po112 code mean?

it means exactly what the book says (FSM)
http://www.obd-codes.com/p0112

it means the Intake air temp sensors is reading OUT OF RANGE
and ILLEGAL input.
The 5vdc supply refr. is dead (0v) bad ECU, or wires.
the IAT sender is shorted.
the IAT wires are shorted.
we find this easy.
we measure the IAT with an Ohm meter, if it reads good
we then check for 5v at the connector, if bad we find that next.
if 5v good we check the wires, for ground outs.

Check engine lght on and 2 codes p0103 and p0112

P0103 HYUNDAI - Mass or Volume Air Flow Circuit High InputPossible causes- Dirty mass air flow sensor
- Dirty mass air filter
- Mass air flow sensor harness is open or shorted
- Mass air flow sensor electrical circuit poor connection
- Intake air leaks
- Faulty mass air flow sensor
Tech notesBefore replacing the mass air flow sensor, try replacing the air filter and cleaning the air flow sensor with low compress air or mass air flow sensor cleaner. Reset code and drive vehicle. If the code comes back, it may be necessary to replaced the mass air flow sensor.
P0112 HYUNDAI - Intake Air Temperature Sensor 1 Circuit Low InputPossible causes- Dirty air filter
- Intake air temperature (IAT) sensor harness is open or shorted
- Intake air temperature (IAT) sensor electrical circuit poor connection
- Faulty intake air temperature sensor
When is the code detected?An excessively low voltage from the sensor is sent to ECM.

The Fault Code: P0112 IAT CKT Low Input on my 2000 Accent gl

P0112 - Intake Air Temperature Circuit Low Input
Usually the P0112 is caused by a bad IAT (internally shorted or open or otherwise damaged), but it could also be:
  • No reference voltage to the IAT sensor due to an open wire
  • Excessively high intake air temperatures
  • Short to ground on signal circuit
  • Damaged IAT connector
  • Bad PCM

Need to wireing diagram for iat sensor

Vehicles: all computer-controlled internal compustions engines equipped with an IAT (Intake Air Temperature) sensor

Intake Air Temperature (IAT) Sensor

Operation - IAT

This sensor is a resistor based sensor which detects the intake air temperature. According to the intake air temperature reading the ECM/PCM will control the necessary amount of fuel injection.

ECM = Engine Control Module (aka "the car's computer")
PCM = Powertrain Control Module (aka "the car's computer")

Hello my check engine light is on i went to local parts house had them read the code low input voltage in the iat sensor so i bought a new one had the code cleared and before i left parking lot light was...

Keep in mind that the IAT (intake air temperature) sensor simply measures the temperature of air that is entering the engine. Intake air temperature is important because the higher the intake air, the higher the combustion temperatures. High combustion temperatures result in increased Nox (Nitrogen oxides) emissions. To keep these higher temps from causing increased combustion temps, the intake air tubing should be intact, allowing the engine to "breathe" air that isn't sampled from the engine compartment. The IAT measures air temp by using a thermistor, or a thermometer of sorts. The thermistor is supplied 5 volts reference voltage from the PCM (powertrain control module) and a ground. Usually, when the air temperature is cold the resistance in the thermistor is high and when the air temperature is warmer, the resistance decreases. This change in resistance changes the 5 V reference from the PCM, thereby informing the PCM of the temperature of incoming air. If the PCM notices that the incoming air temp is unusually high, say, 300 degrees, when the engine temp is still relatively low, it will set a P0112.

Symptoms: There may be no noticeable symptoms of a P0112 code other than an MIL (Malfunction Indicator Lamp). However, a emissions test may reveal higher Nox readings depending on the type of IAT failure. Or the engine may ping under load, depending on the type of IAT failure.

Causes: Usually the P0112 is caused by a bad IAT (internally shorted or open or otherwise damaged), but it could also be:
* No reference voltage to the IAT sensor due to an open wire
* Excessively high intake air temperatures
* Short to ground on signal circuit
* Damaged IAT connector
* Bad PCM

Possible Solutions:
Hook up your scan tool or code reader and read the IAT reading. With a cold engine, the IAT should roughly match the coolant reading, since both will read ambient temperature. If the IAT is reading excessively high, check the IAT connector for damage. If you find none, unplug the IAT sensor and recheck the reading. It should now read the minimum, around -20 deg. If it does, then replace the IAT sensor. But, if the reading is still high, unplug the sensor and check for resistance across the two wiring harness terminals. If there is infinite resistance, then the PCM itself is bad. If the resistance isn't infinite, then check and repair the short to ground on the signal circuit.

Keep us updated.

Looking for ways to correct my check enngine light; the following codes p01400 and p0112 on a 07 6 cycl trailblazer? be advised i just changed out the evap solenoid?

Well the code for the p01400 is for the evap solenoid. But, it could have a wiring problem.
The p0112 is for the intake air temperature (IAT) sensor.

Could they be related?
