What is the IAT sensor?
The Intake Air Temperature (IAT) Sensor is used by the engine’s Power Control Module (PCM) to decide at which rate the engine should spark and inject fuel to obtain optimal performance.
Is the IAT sensor part of the MAF sensor?
IAT (intake air temperature) is NOT a MAF (mass air flow) equivalent. Your car uses a MAP (manifold absolute pressure) sensor in place of a MAF.
What should my IAT be?
After turning it on, check for the temperature of the IAT sensor. It should be 10°F above or below the ambient temperature of the vehicle. If this is not the case, you may have a problem with the sensor.
Where is the IAT located on a car?
Most vehicles have their IAT = Temp sensor located on the air intake track of the vehicle. It will have 2 wires going to a plug mounted on the air intake track or air intake manifold of most vehicles.. If you cannot find your IAT and your car is 2000+ , then it maybe built into your MAF = Mass Air Flow meter and will have 4-5 wires going to it.
Which is the IAT sensor on the manifold?
The iat sensor is the front sensor on the intake manifold it has a gray 2 wire plug that is the 4.0 lt the 2.5 the sensor is the back sensor on the manifold.
What is the IAT sensor on Dodge Ram?
The IAT sensor is responsible for measuring the air temperature and density to achieve the optimal air/fuel mixture for any condition. P0113 is specifically thrown when the Ram’s computer sees a voltage signal of 4.91 volts for over half a second at the Intake Air Temp Sensor.
How do I remove the IAT sensor from my air cleaner?
If the reading for a given temperature is approximately that shown in the table, the IAT sensor is okay. Attach the wiring harness connector to the sensor. Disconnect the negative battery cable. Disengage the wiring harness connector from the IAT sensor. Remove the sensor from the air cleaner outlet tube.
