DTC P0111-00: Intake air temperature sensor circuit performance
 
 
 
 
CIRCUIT OPERATION
  • Intake air temperature sensor is built into the mass airflow sensor.
  • Power is supplied by the ECM connector terminal number 76 to the mass airflow sensor connector terminal number 1.
  • The mass airflow sensor connector terminal number 3 is grounded through the ECM connector terminal number 98.
  • The sensor signal is inputted to the ECM connector terminal number 78 from the mass airflow sensor connector terminal number 2.
 
 
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
The intake air temperature sensor converts the intake air temperature into a voltage and inputs the voltage signal to the ECM.
 
 
DESCRIPTIONS OF MONITOR METHODS
Intake air temperature sensor voltage signal does not change when specified go/stop operations are repeated.
 
 
MONITOR EXECUTION
Continuous.
 
 
MONITOR EXECUTION CONDITIONS (Other monitor and Sensor)
Other Monitor (There is no temporary DTC set in memory for the item monitored below)
  • Not applicable
Sensor (The sensor below is determined to be normal)
  • Engine coolant temperature sensor
 
 
DTC SET CONDITIONS
Logic Flow Chart
 
 
Check Conditions
  • More than 2 seconds have passed since the power supply mode of electric motor switch was ON.
  • 12V battery positive voltage is higher than 10 volts.
  • Engine coolant temperature is higher than 76°C (169°F).
  • Repeat 2 or more times: drive*1, stop*2.
    • Drive*1: while the engine is running, vehicle speed higher than 50 km/h (31 mph) lasting a total of 60 seconds or more.
    • Stop*2: vehicle speed lower than 1.5 km/h (1.0 mph) lasting 30 seconds or more.
Judgment Criterion
  • Changes in the intake air temperature is lower than 1°C (33.8°F).
 
 
FAIL-SAFE AND BACKUP FUNCTION
None.
 
 
OBD-II DRIVE CYCLE PATTERN
Refer to Diagnostic Function, OBD-II Drive Cycle – Pattern 5 OBD- II DRIVE CYCLE.
 
 
TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS (The most likely causes for this code to be set are:)
  • Intake air temperature sensor (built into the mass airflow sensor) failed.
  • ECM failed.
 
 
DIAGNOSIS
Required Special Tools:
  • MB992744: Vehicle communication interface-Lite (V.C.I.-Lite)
  • MB992745: V.C.I.-Lite main harness A
  • MB992747: V.C.I.-Lite USB cable short
  • MB992748: V.C.I.-Lite USB cable long
1.STEP 1. Using scan tool (M.U.T.-III SE), check the data list.
Use scan tool (M.U.T.-III SE) to check the data list (Refer to DATA LIST REFERENCE TABLE).
  • Item number 50: Air Temperature Sensor
Q: Is the check result normal?
Replace the mass airflow sensor (Refer to ENGINE, Intake and Exhaust – Air Cleaner AIR CLEANER REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION). Then
 
2.STEP 2. Test the OBD-II drive cycle.
After erasing the DTC, carry out test drive with the drive cycle pattern, and recheck the DTC.
(1) Use scan tool (M.U.T.-III SE) to erase the DTC.
(2) Carry out test drive with the drive cycle pattern (Refer to Diagnostic Function, OBD-II Drive Cycle – Pattern 5 OBD- II DRIVE CYCLE).
(3) Use scan tool (M.U.T.-III SE) to recheck the DTC.
Q: Is DTC P0111-00 set?
Replace the ECM (Refer to ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECM) REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION).
Intermittent malfunction (Refer to GENERAL INFORMATION, General Information – How to Use Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points – How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunctions HOW TO COPE WITH INTERMITTENT MALFUNCTIONS).
 
3.STEP 3. Test the OBD-II drive cycle.
After erasing the DTC, carry out test drive with the drive cycle pattern, and recheck the DTC.
(1) Use scan tool (M.U.T.-III SE) to erase the DTC.
(2) Carry out test drive with the drive cycle pattern (Refer to Diagnostic Function, OBD-II Drive Cycle – Pattern 5 OBD- II DRIVE CYCLE).
(3) Use scan tool (M.U.T.-III SE) to recheck the DTC.
Q: Is DTC P0111-00 set?
Replace the ECM (Refer to ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECM) REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION).
The inspection is complete.
