Test NTC-15A - Checking Intake Air Temperature Sensor
NOTE:
Perform TEST TC-118A, NTC-1A or NTC-14A before proceeding. When performing this test, DO NOT allow more than 5 minutes between measuring temperature of intake air temp sensor with scan tool and measuring the air temperature on inside of intake manifold with temperature probe.
- Turn ignition on with engine off. Using scan tool, measure and record the temperature of intake air temperature sensor. Turn ignition off.
- Remove intake air temperature sensor from intake manifold. Intake air temperature sensor is located on rear of intake manifold, near cylinder head and contains a Gray 2-pin connector.
- Using temperature probe, quickly measure the air temperature on inside of intake manifold, where intake air temperature sensor is mounted.
- If intake air temperature sensor on scan tool is within 10°F (-12°C) of temperature obtained on temperature probe, intake air temperature sensor is okay. If intake air temperature sensor on scan tool is not within 10°F (-12°C) of temperature obtained on temperature probe, replace intake air temperature sensor. Perform TEST VER-2A.
