Descripción

This code indicates that the third intake air temperature sensor on 'Bank 2' is reporting a reading that is too low for the current operating conditions. This sensor is vital for the engine's computer to accurately measure air density and adjust fuel delivery.

Causas comunes

  • Faulty intake air temperature sensor
  • Wiring issue to the sensor (short or open circuit)
  • Loose sensor connection
  • Engine computer issue (rare)

Síntomas

  • Check Engine Light is on
  • Poor engine performance
  • Increased fuel consumption
  • Rough idling

Pasos de reparación

  1. 1 Check the electrical connector at the intake air temperature sensor 3 on Bank 2 for looseness, corrosion, or damage, and reseat it firmly.
  2. 2 Inspect the wiring harness running from the IAT sensor 3 to the ECM for signs of chafing, fraying, shorts to ground, or broken wires.
  3. 3 Test the intake air temperature sensor 3 circuit using a multimeter to verify voltage and resistance values match manufacturer specifications (a low circuit reading often indicates a short to ground or internal sensor failure).
  4. 4 Check for related trouble codes or freeze frame data to confirm the issue is isolated to the IAT sensor 3 circuit on Bank 2.
  5. 5 Replace the intake air temperature sensor 3 on Bank 2 if resistance readings are out of specification.
  6. 6 Repair or replace any damaged wiring or connectors in the IAT sensor 3 circuit if faults are found during inspection.
  7. 7 Have the engine control module (ECM) inspected and tested by a professional if all sensor and wiring checks pass, as a faulty ECM is a rare but possible cause.
