Code No. P0113: No. 1 intake air temperature sensor Circuit High Input








OPERATION



  • A power voltage of 5 V is applied to the No. 1 intake air temperature sensor output terminal (terminal No. 1) from the engine-ECU (terminal No. 89).
  • The power voltage is earthed to the engine-ECU (terminal No. 88) from the No. 1 intake air temperature sensor (terminal No. 4).

FUNCTION



  • The No. 1 intake air temperature sensor converts the intake air temperature into a voltage and inputs the voltage signal to the engine-ECU.
  • In response to the signal, the engine-ECU corrects the fuel injection amount, etc.
  • The No. 1 intake air temperature sensor is a kind of resistor, which has characteristics to reduce its resistance as the intake air temperature rises. Therefore, the sensor output voltage varies with the intake air temperature, and becomes lower as the intake air temperature rises.

TROUBLE JUDGMENT


Check Condition
  • Ignition switch is "ON" position.
Judgement Criterion
  • No. 1 intake air temperature sensor output voltage is more than 4.6 V (corresponding to an intake air temperature of -40°C or less) for 2 seconds.
FAIL-SAFE AND BACKUP FUNCTION
  • Control as if the intake air temperature is 25°C.

PROBABLE CAUSES



  • Failed No. 1 intake air temperature sensor
  • Open circuit or harness damage in No. 1 intake air temperature sensor circuit or loose connector contact
  • Failed engine-ECU
