What does this fault code mean?
The engine control module keeps watch on the intake air temperature sensor and has registered a reading that is too high. Most often the signal wire has come into contact with supply voltage, but the sensor itself may be damaged.
Possible causes
- Short circuit to supply voltage in the signal wire
- Damaged intake air temperature sensor
What you can do
- 1With the ignition off, check the connector to the intake air temperature sensor for contact resistance and oxidation
- 2With the ignition on and the connector unplugged, use a multimeter on the signal wire; voltage there indicates a short to supply voltage
- 3If the fault returns after erasing codes and a test drive although the wiring is sound, have a workshop replace the intake air temperature sensor
Symptoms you may notice1
- No noticeable symptoms for the driver
