CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION:
The Intake Air Temperature (IAT) Sensor uses a thermistor to control the signal voltage to
the ECM. The ECM applies a voltage on CKT 472 to the sensor. When the intake air is cold,
the sensor (thermistor) resistance is high, therefore, the ECM will see high signal voltage.
As the intake air warms, the sensor resistance becomes less, and the voltage drops. At nor-
mal engine operating temperature, 160-180°F (71-82°C), the voltage will measure about
1.5 to 2.0 volts.
