Set Conditions

Once the vehicle is soaked for a calibrated engine off time and then driven over calibrated speed and load conditions for some calibrated time, the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) compares the ambient, engine coolant, and intake air temperature sensor values. If engine coolant and the ambient air temperature sensors agree with each other but intake air temperature does not agree with them, the intake air temperature sensor is declared as irrational. Two Trip Fault. Three good trips to turn off the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL).
