DTC P0096: INTAKE AIR TEMPERATURE SENSOR 2 CIRCUIT RANGE/PERFORMANCE (BANK 1)

Description:  The powertrain control module (PCM) continuously monitors this sensor for concerns.
This DTC sets when the intake air temperature 2 (IAT2) parameter identification (PID) does not correlate with the charge air cooler temperature (CAC_T) or the intake air temperature (IAT) PIDs at ignition on. It will also set if the IAT2 PID exceeds the maximum calibrated temperature threshold while driving.
Possible Causes: 
  • Slow responding manifold absolute pressure (MAP)/intake air temperature 2 (IAT2) sensor
  • Damaged MAP/IAT2 sensor
Diagnostic Aids:  The MAP/IAT2 sensor is located on top of the intake manifold.
