Where is the Intake Air Temperature Sensor Installed?
1 Answers
The intake air temperature sensor is installed on the intake pipe or inside the mass air flow sensor. The intake air temperature sensor is a negative temperature coefficient thermistor. When the temperature rises, the resistance decreases, and when the temperature drops, the resistance increases. As the resistance in the circuit changes, it causes a change in voltage, thereby generating different voltage signals to complete the automatic operation of the control system. Symptoms of a faulty intake air temperature sensor: 1. The engine fault light remains on in the ON position; 2. A small amount of black smoke appears when slowly pressing the throttle in place, and a large amount of black smoke appears during rapid acceleration; 3. The engine fails to start; 4. Fault code P01D6.
