DIAGNOSIS


STEP 1. Using scan tool MB991958, check data list item DE: Intake Air Temperature Sensor 2.



caution To prevent damage to scan tool MB991958, always turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position before connecting or disconnecting scan tool MB991958.
(1)Connect scan tool MB991958 to the data link connector.
(2)Remove the intake air temperature sensor 2 from the intake manifold.
(3)Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(4)Set scan tool MB991958 to the data reading mode for item DE, Intake Air Temperature Sensor 2.

(5)Heating the sensor using a hair drier.

  • The indicated temperature increases.
    note Do not allow it to increase over 80°C (176°F).
(6)Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
(7)Attach the intake air temperature sensor 2.

Q. Is the sensor operating properly?

It can be assumed that this malfunction is intermittent. Refer to GROUP 00, How to Use Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points - How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunctions .

Go to Step 2.

STEP 2. Check the intake air temperature sensor 2.


(1)Disconnect the intake air temperature sensor 2 connector B-16.

(2)Measure the resistance between intake air temperature sensor 2 side connector terminal No. 1 and No. 2.

(3)Measure resistance while heating the sensor using a hair drier.
Standard value:
    13 - 18 kΩ [at -20°C (-4°F)]
    5.1 - 6.9 kΩ [at 0°C (32°F)]
    2.0 - 3.0 kΩ [at 20°C (68°F)]
    0.9 - 1.5 kΩ [at 40°C (104°F)]
    0.40 - 0.78 kΩ [at 60°C (140°F)]
    0.23 - 0.42 kΩ [at 80°C (176°F)]

Q. Is the measured resistance at the standard value?

Go to Step 3.

Replace the intake air temperature sensor 2. Then go to Step 9.

STEP 3. Check harness connector B-16 at the intake air temperature sensor 2 for damage.


Q. Is the harness connector in good condition?

Go to Step 4.
Repair or replace it. Refer to GROUP 00E, Harness Connector Inspection . Then go to Step 9.

STEP 4. Check the continuity at intake air temperature sensor 2 harness side connector B-16.


(1)Disconnect the connector B-16 and measure at the harness side.

(2)Check for the continuity between terminal No. 2 and ground.

  • Continuity (2 ohms or less)

Q. Does continuity exist?

Go to Step 7.

Go to Step 5.

STEP 5. Check harness connector B-10 at ECM for damage.


Q. Is the harness connector in good condition?

Go to Step 6.
Repair or replace it. Refer to GROUP 00E, Harness Connector Inspection . Then go to Step 9.

STEP 6. Check for harness damage between intake air temperature sensor 2 connector B-16 (terminal No. 2) and ECM connector B-10 (terminal No. 97).


note Check harness after checking intermediate connector A-13. If intermediate connector is damaged, repair or replace it. Repair to GROUP 00E, Harness Connector Inspection . Then go to Step 9.

Q. Is the harness wire in good condition?

Replace the ECM. When the ECM is replaced, register the ID code. Refer to GROUP 42B, ID Code Registration Necessity Judgment Table <Vehicles with KOS> or GROUP 42C, ID Codes Registration Judgment Table <Vehicles with WCM> . Then go to Step 9.
Repair it. Then go to Step 9.

STEP 7. Check harness connector B-10 at ECM for damage.


Q. Is the harness connector in good condition?

Go to Step 8.
Repair or replace it. Refer to GROUP 00E, Harness Connector Inspection . Then go to Step 9.

STEP 8. Check for harness damage between intake air temperature sensor 2 connector B-16 (terminal No. 1) and ECM connector B-10 (terminal No. 98).


note Check harness after checking intermediate connector A-13. If intermediate connector is damaged, repair or replace it. Repair to GROUP 00E, Harness Connector Inspection . Then go to Step 9.

Q. Is the harness wire in good condition?

Replace the ECM. When the ECM is replaced, register the ID code. Refer to GROUP 42B, ID Code Registration Necessity Judgment Table <Vehicles with KOS> or GROUP 42C, ID Codes Registration Judgment Table <Vehicles with WCM> . Then go to Step 9.
Repair it. Then go to Step 9.

STEP 9. Test the OBD-II drive cycle.


(1)Carry out a test drive with the drive cycle pattern. Refer to Diagnostic Function - OBD-II Drive Cycle - Pattern 7 .
(2)Check the diagnostic trouble code (DTC).

Q. Is DTC P0096 set?

Retry the troubleshooting.
The inspection is complete.
