Causes
- Open or short in the IAT sensor 2 wiring (signal, reference, or ground)
- Corroded, damaged or disconnected sensor connector
- Failed IAT sensor 2 (thermistor) on bank 1
- Water intrusion or contamination of connector
- High resistance due to damaged insulation or poor crimp
- Faulty ECM (rare)
Symptoms
- Check Engine Light (MIL) illuminated
- Reduced fuel economy or drivability issues
- Hard starting or extended cranking in some conditions
- Rough idle or hesitant acceleration
- Incorrect intake air temperature reading in scan data
- Failed emissions test
What to check
- Read freeze frame and live data with a scan tool; confirm IAT sensor 2 belongs to bank 1 and compare to IAT sensor 1 and ambient temperature
- Visually inspect sensor, wiring harness and connector for damage, corrosion, or contamination
- Backprobe connector with key on (engine off) to check reference voltage and ground
- Measure sensor signal voltage while warming/cooling the intake air and watch for reasonable change
- Check continuity and resistance of wiring between sensor and ECM pins
- Wiggle test wiring/connector while monitoring live data to detect intermittent faults
Signal parameters
- Typical reference voltage: ~5 V (varies by manufacturer)
- Typical signal voltage range: ~0.2–4.8 V depending on intake air temperature
- Sensor type: usually NTC thermistor (resistance decreases as temperature increases)
- Typical resistance behavior: high ohms at very cold, lower ohms at warm (manufacturer table required for exact values)
- No signal or a voltage stuck near 0 V or reference voltage indicates short/ open or internal failure
Diagnostic algorithm
- Verify DTC and record freeze frame/live data for IAT sensor 2 and IAT sensor 1 (if present).
- Perform a visual inspection of sensor 2, connector, and harness on bank 1. Repair obvious damage.
- With key on engine off, backprobe the sensor connector: verify reference voltage (≈5 V) and good ground at the harness side.
- Measure sensor signal voltage while changing intake air temperature (warm with a heat gun lightly, cool with a cold spray) and confirm the signal moves smoothly.
- Remove sensor and measure resistance vs. ambient temperature. Compare to vehicle-specific specification or observe that resistance changes with temperature (NTC behavior).
- Check continuity from sensor connector pins to the ECM; look for shorts to power or ground.
- Repair or replace damaged wiring or connector terminals. If wiring is good and sensor fails bench or live tests, replace the IAT sensor 2.
- Clear codes and perform a test drive; verify the code does not return and IAT readings are plausible.
- If problem persists after sensor and wiring replacement, consider ECM input fault and refer to manufacturer procedures.
Likely causes
- Broken wire or pin at the sensor connector
- Short to battery or short to ground in the signal lead
- Corroded connector terminals causing intermittent contact
- Failed thermistor element inside the sensor
- Poor or missing sensor ground
Fault status
Status
The ECM detected an abnormal signal from the Intake Air Temperature Sensor 2 circuit on Bank 1. This can be caused by an open or short in the sensor circuit, a failed sensor, or poor connection. The fault is stored as P0095 and may set the Malfunction Indicator Lamp.
Repair difficulty: Medium
Diagnostic time: 0.5-2.0 hours
