Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Circuit Description
Intake Air Temperature (IAT) sensor is a thermistor built into Mass Airflow (MAF) meter and is used to monitor temperature of intake air flowing through MAF meter. DTC is set when ECM detects an open or short in IAT sensor circuit. If DTC P0110 exists, ECM will operate in fail-safe mode in which intake air temperature is assumed to be 68°F (20°C). Possible causes are:
- IAT sensor circuit is open or shorted.
- Defective IAT sensor.
- Defective ECM.
