Intake Air Temperature (IAT) Sensor

The IAT sensor is a thermistor device. The electrical resistance of a thermistor decreases as the temperature increases, and resistance increases as the temperature decreases. The varying resistance affects the voltage drop across the sensor providing a signal corresponding to temperature.

The IAT sensor is integrated into the MAF sensor.
