Description and operation
Description

Mounted inside the Manifold Absolute Pressure Sensor, Intake Air Temperature Sensor (IATS) detects the intake air temperature.

To precisely calculate the amount of air, correction of the air temperature is required as the air density varies with the temperature. So the ECM uses not only MAPS signal but also IATS signal. This sensor has a Negative Temperature Coefficient (NTC) thermistor with resistance in reverse proportion to the temperature.

9.8 - 11.8 N·m (1.0 - 1.2 kgf·m, 7.2 - 8.7 lb·ft)

Installation
  
•

Install the component to the specified torques.

•

Note that internal damage may occur when the component is dropped. If the component has been dropped, inspect before installing.

•

Insert the sensor in the installation hole and be careful not to damage it.

1.

Install in the reverse order of removal.
