DTC P0111

IAT sensor circuit range/performance problem

DETECTION CONDITION

• If intake air temperature is higher than engine coolant temperature by 18 °C {32.4 °F} for 1.2 s with ignition switch on^*, the PCM determines that there is a intake air temperature sensor circuit range/performance problem.

• *: Ignition switch on when 6 h or more has passed since the previous ignition switch off

Diagnostic support note

• This is a continuous monitor (CCM).

• The MIL illuminates if the PCM detects the above malfunction condition in two consecutive drive cycles or in one drive cycle while the DTC for the same malfunction has been stored in the PCM.

• PENDING CODE is available if the PCM detects the above malfunction condition during the first drive cycle.

• FREEZE FRAME DATA is available.

• The DTC is stored in the PCM memory.

POSSIBLE CAUSE

• IAT sensor malfunction

• Connector or terminal malfunction

• PCM malfunction

STEP

INSPECTION

ACTION

1

• Has FREEZE FRAME DATA been recorded?

Yes

Go to the next step.

No

Record the FREEZE FRAME DATA on the repair order, then go to the next step.

2

• Verify related Service Bulletins and/or on-line repair information availability.

• Is any related repair information available?

Yes

Perform repair or diagnosis according to the available repair information.

• If the vehicle is not repaired, go to the next step.

No

Go to the next step.

3

• Turn the ignition switch off.

• Disconnect the MAF/IAT sensor connector.

• Inspect for poor connection (such as damaged/pulled-out pins, corrosion).

• Is there any malfunction?

Yes

Repair or replace the terminal, then go to Step 6.

No

Go to the next step.

4

• Inspect the IAT sensor.

  (See INTAKE AIR TEMPERATURE (IAT) SENSOR INSPECTION [LF].)

• Is the IAT sensor normal?

Yes

Replace the MAF/IAT sensor, then go to Step 6.

(See MASS AIR FLOW (MAF)/INTAKE AIR TEMPERATURE (IAT) SENSOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [LF].)

No

Go to the next step.

5

• Disconnect the PCM connector.

• Inspect for poor connection (such as damaged/pulled-out pins, corrosion).

• Is there any malfunction?

Yes

Repair or replace the terminal, then go to the next step.

No

Go to the next step.

6

• Make sure to reconnect all disconnected connectors.

• Clear the DTC from the PCM memory using the M-MDS.

• Start the engine and run the engine under FREEZE FRAME DATA condition.

• Is the PENDING CODE for this DTC present?

Yes

Replace the PCM, then go to the next step.

(See PCM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [LF].)

No

Go to the next step.

7

• Perform the “AFTER REPAIR PROCEDURE”.

  (See AFTER REPAIR PROCEDURE [LF].)

• Are any DTC present?

Yes

Go to the applicable DTC troubleshooting.

(See DTC TABLE [LF].)

No

Troubleshooting completed.
