If indication jumps to Approx. -40° C or -46° C:

-- End diagnosis and switch ignition off.

-- Replace the Intake Air Temperature (IAT) Sensor -G42 -. Refer to appropriate Service Information.

If the indication remains at Approx. 140° C:

Checking wiring 

If the manufacturers test box is being used, perform the following step.

-- Install the test box.

If the manufacturers test box is not being used, perform the following step.

-- Remove the Engine Control Module (ECM) -J623-. Refer to appropriate Service Information.

-- Using a Multimeter --, check the Intake Air Temperature (IAT) Sensor -G42 - electrical harness connector terminals to the Engine Control Module (ECM) -J623- electrical harness connector T60 terminals for resistance.

Specified value: 1.5 Ω Max.

If the specification was not obtained:

-- Check the wiring for an open circuit, a short circuit to Battery (+), or an open circuit.

-- Check the electrical harness connector for damage, corrosion, loose or broken terminals.

-- If necessary, repair the faulty wiring connection.

If no malfunction is detected in the wiring:

-- Erase the DTC memory. Refer to DIAGNOSTIC MODE 04 - ERASE DTC MEMORY.

-- Perform a road test to verify repair.

If the DTC does not return:

Generate readiness code. Refer to READINESS CODE.

If the DTC does return and no malfunction is detected in the wiring and the voltage supply was not OK:

-- Replace the Engine Control Module (ECM) -J623-. Refer to appropriate Service Information.

Final procedures 

After repair work, the following work steps must be performed in the mentioned sequence:

  1. Check the DTC memory. DIAGNOSTIC MODE 03 - READ DTC MEMORY.
  2. If necessary, erase the DTC memory. DIAGNOSTIC MODE 04 - ERASE DTC MEMORY.
  3. If the DTC memory was erased, generate readiness code. READINESS CODE.
