Description and operation
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.

Repair procedures
| 1. |
Switch "OFF" the ignition.
|
| 2. |
Disconnect the IATS connector.
|
| 3. |
Measure resistance between the IATS terminals 3 and 4.
|
| 4. |
Check that the resistance is within the specification.

|
| • |
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.

Kia Stinger (CK) 2018-2023 Service Manual: Anti-lock brake system (ABS)
ABS (or ESC) will not prevent accidents due to improper or dangerous driving
maneuvers. Even though vehicle control is improved during emergency braking, always
maintain a safe distance between you and objects ahead. Vehicle speeds should always
be reduced during extreme road conditions. The vehicle should be driven at reduced
speeds in the following circumstances:
When driving on rough, gravel or snow-covered roads
When driving on roads where the road surface is pitted or has different
surface heights.
