Test Description

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.

  1. 1:  The Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle prompts the technician to complete some basic checks and store the Freeze Frame data on the scan tool, if applicable. This creates an electronic copy of the data taken when the fault occurred. The information is then stored in the scan tool for later reference.
  2. 2:  This step checks for a low voltage on the input circuit. If the scan tool reads 140°C (284°F), the input circuit is shorted to ground.
  3. 3:  This step determines if DTC P0112 is the result of a hard failure or an intermittent condition.

  1. Test the intake air temperature (IAT) sensor input circuit for a short to ground. Ensure that the input circuit is not shorted to the sensor ground circuit.
  2. Repair as necessary. Refer to Wiring Repairs .
Did you find and correct a condition?
- Go to Step 8  Go to Step 7 
6 Replace the MAF sensor. Refer to Intake Air Temperature Sensor Replacement .
Did you complete the replacement?
- Go to Step 8  -
7 Replace the powertrain control module (PCM). Refer to Control Module References for replacement, setup, and programming.
Did you complete the replacement?
