Intake Air Temperature Sensor

Fig. 4 Intake Air Temperature Sensor And MAP Sensor:






PURPOSE
The Intake Air Temperature (IAT) sensor measures the temperature of the intake air as it enters the engine. The sensor supplies one of the inputs the PCM uses to determine injector pulse width and spark advance.

The IAT sensor threads into the intake manifold (Fig. 4).
