Description and operation

Description
Integrated in the Manifold Absolute Pressure Sensor, the Intake Air Temperature Sensor (IATS) detects the intake air temperature.
To precisely calculate the amount of air, air temperature correction is needed as air density varies with temperature. So, the ECM uses IATS signal as well as MAPS signal. It has a Negative Temperature Coefficient (NTC) Thermistor whose resistance changes in reverse proportion to temperature.

Removal
1.
Turn the ignition switch OFF and disconnect the battery negative (-) terminal.
2.
Disconnect the manifold absolute pressure sensor connector (A).
3.
Remove the sensor (B) from the Intake manifold by loosening the mounting screws.
Manifold absolute pressure sensor mounting screw :
6.4 - 8.3 N·m (0.65 - 0.85 kgf·m, 4.7 - 6.1 lb·ft)

Installation
   
Tighten the component to the specified torques.
Note that internal damage may occur when the component is dropped. If the component has been dropped, inspect if it is damaged before installing.
Carefully insert the sensor into the installation hole without damaging it.
1.
Install in the reverse order of removal.
