| P0096 IAT Sensor 2 Circuit Range/Performance Problem |
DTC (PGM-FI)
- Connector visual check:
- 1. Check for poor connections or loose terminals of these connectors.
- ECT sensor 1
- ECT sensor 2
- MAF sensor/IAT sensor 1
- IAT sensor 2
Are the connections and terminals OK?
YES
Go to step 2.
NO
Repair the connections or terminals.
- IAT sensor 2 performance check (low temperature):
- 1. Remove IAT sensor 2 .
- 2. Allow IAT sensor 2 to cool to the ambient temperature.
- 3. Note the ambient temperature.
- 4. Connect IAT sensor 2 to its 2P connector, but do not install it.
- 5. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.
- 6. Quickly note the value of IAT SENSOR 2 in the DATA LIST with the HDS.
Signal Current conditions Values Unit IAT SENSOR 2 - 7. Compare the value of IAT SENSOR 2 to the ambient temperature.
Does the value of IAT SENSOR 2 differ 5.4 °F (3 °C) or more from the ambient temperature?
YES
NO
Go to step 3.
- IAT sensor 2 performance check (high temperature):
- 1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.
- 2. Disconnect the following connector.
IAT sensor 2 2P connector - 3. Using a heat gun, blow hot air on IAT sensor 2 for a few seconds. Do not apply the heat longer than a few seconds or you will damage the sensor.
- 4. Connect IAT sensor 2 to its 2P connector, but do not install it.
- 5. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.
- 6. Check IAT SENSOR 2 in the DATA LIST with the HDS.
Signal Current conditions Values Unit IAT SENSOR 2 Does IAT SENSOR 2 change 76 °F (42 °C) or more?
YES
Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. Check for poor connections or loose terminals at IAT sensor 2 and the PCM. If the freeze data/on-board snapshot of this DTC is recorded, try to reproduce the failure under the same conditions with the freeze data/on-board snapshot.
NO
