Diagnostic Fault Information
IAT Sensor 3
Typical Scan Tool Data
IAT Sensor 3
Circuit/System Description
The intake air temperature (IAT) sensor 3 is a variable resistor that changes
an engine control module (ECM)
supplied 5 V signal. The signal varies with inlet air temperature and is
displayed by the scan tool as ºC (ºF).
The IAT sensor 3 is integrated with the B111B Turbocharger Boost/Intake Air
Temperature Sensor in the
sensor bore, which is located before the throttle body. The ECM supplies a
ground for the IAT sensor 3 low
reference circuit.
The IAT sensor 1 and IAT sensor 2 are part of the B75C Multifunction Intake Air
Sensor. The IAT sensor 1
produces an analog signal on pin-8 of the sensor. The IAT sensor 2 produces a
frequency modulated signal on
pin-1 of the sensor.
Conditions for Running the DTCs
P00EA, P00EB, and P00EC
- The ignition is ON, or the engine is running.
- The DTCs run continuously when the above conditions are met.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
NOTE: The scan tool display range is between -40 and +150ºC (-40
and +302ºF).
P00EA
The ECM detects that the IAT sensor 3 signal is warmer than 149ºC (300ºF) for
at least 5 s.
P00EB
The ECM detects that the IAT sensor 3 signal is colder than -60ºC (-76ºF) for
at least 5 s.
P00EC
The ECM detects that the IAT sensor 3 signal is intermittent or has abruptly
changed for at least 5s.
Action Taken When the DTCs Set
- DTCs P00EA, P00EB, and P00EC are Type B DTCs.
- The ECM commands the cooling fans ON.
Conditions for Clearing the DTCs
DTCs P00EA, P00EB, and P00EC are Type B DTCs.

Circuit/System Verification
- Ignition ON.
- Verify that DTC DTC P0641, P0651, P0697, or P06A3 is not set.
If any of the DTCs are set
Refer to DTC P0641, P0651, P0697, or P06A3 (ECM) for further diagnosis.
If none of the DTCs are set
NOTE: To minimize the effects of residual engine heat and sensor
internal heating
elements, perform Steps 3 and 4 of this verification procedure only if the
ignition has been OFF for 8 hours or more.
- Ignition ON.
- Verify the following scan tool parameters are within 25ºC (45ºF) of each
other.
- Start-Up IAT Sensor 1
- IAT Sensor 2
- IAT Sensor 3
If not within 25ºC (45ºF)
Refer to Circuit/System Testing.
If within 25ºC (45ºF)
- Engine idling, verify the IAT Sensor 3 scan tool parameter is between:
-38 and +128ºC (-36 and +262ºF).
If not between: -38 and +128ºC (-36 and +262ºF)
Refer to Circuit System Testing.
If between: -38 and +128ºC (-36 and +262ºF)
- Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC. You may
also operate the vehicle within
the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records data.
- Verify the DTC does not set.
If the DTC sets
Refer to Circuit/System Testing.
If the DTC does not set
- All OK
Circuit/System Testing
NOTE: You must perform the Circuit/System Verification
before proceeding with
Circuit/System Testing.
- Ignition OFF, and all vehicle systems OFF, it may take up to 2 min. for
all vehicle systems to power
down. Disconnect the harness connector at the B111B Turbocharger Boost/Intake
Air Temperature
sensor.
- Test for less than 2 ohms between the low reference circuit terminal 1
and ground.
If 2 ohms or greater
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the K20 Engine Control
Module.
- Test for less than 2 ohms in the low reference circuit end to end.
- If 2 ohms or greater, repair the open or high resistance in the circuit.
- If less than 2 ohms replace the K20 Engine Control Module.
If less than 2 ohms
- Ignition ON, test for 4.8-5.2 V between the signal circuit terminal 2
and ground.
If less than 4.8 V
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the K20 Engine Control
Module.
- Test for infinite resistance between the signal circuit and ground.
- If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the
circuit.
- If infinite resistance
- Test for less than 2 ohms in the signal circuit end to end.
- If 2 ohms or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
- If less than 2 ohms, replace the K20 Engine Control Module.
If greater than 5.2 V
NOTE: If the signal circuit is shorted to a voltage the engine
control module
or the sensor may be damaged.
