INTAKE AIR TEMPERATURE
SENSOR
DESCRIPTION - 3.9L/5.2L/5.9L/8.0L
The 2±wire Intake Manifold Air Temperature (IAT)
sensor is installed in the intake manifold with the
sensor element extending into the air stream.
The IAT sensor is a two-wire Negative Thermal
Coefficient (NTC) sensor. Meaning, as intake mani-
fold temperature increases, resistance (voltage) in the
sensor decreases. As temperature decreases, resis-
tance (voltage) in the sensor increases.
OPERATION - 3.9L/5.2L/5.9L/8.0L
The IAT sensor provides an input voltage to the
Powertrain Control Module (PCM) indicating the
density of the air entering the intake manifold based
upon intake manifold temperature. At key-on, a
5±volt power circuit is supplied to the sensor from
the PCM. The sensor is grounded at the PCM
through a low-noise, sensor-return circuit.
The PCM uses this input to calculate the following:
²Injector pulse-width
²Adjustment of spark timing (to help prevent
spark knock with high intake manifold air-charge
temperatures)
The resistance values of the IAT sensor is the same
as for the Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor.
REMOVAL - 3.9L/5.2L/5.9L
The intake manifold air temperature sensor is
located in the front/side of the intake manifold (Fig.
34).

(2) Disconnect electrical connector at sensor (Fig.
34).

front of throttle body (Fig. 35).
(1) Disconnect electrical connector at sensor.
(2) Remove sensor from intake manifold.
