The intake air temperature sensor is installed between the air cleaner and the turbocharger. The intake air temperature sensor is a variable resistor and measures the temperature of the intake air flowing into the engine. This sensor has a signal circuit and a GND circuit which are connected to the ECM. The sensor resistance is high when the intake air temperature is low, and the sensor resistance decreases as the intake air temperature increases. The ECM detects a high voltage when the sensor resistance is high, and a low voltage when the sensor resistance is low. If the ECM detects an excessively low signal voltage, the DTC is set.
Condition for setting the DTC
Preconditions
The ignition switch is ON. ・DTCs P060B, P0651, and P160B are not set.
Setting conditions
The ECM detects that the intake air temperature sensor signal voltage is 0.1 V or less for 5 seconds.
Action taken when DTC sets
・Failure is indicated* in the monitor on the machine, or the diagnostic light illuminates.
Note: *Depending on the machine manufacturer, a failure may not be indicated.
・The ECM substitutes a default intake air temperature value. ・The ECM limits the fuel injection quantity.
