Diag. Code 24Intake Air Temp. Sensor Circuit
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The intake air temp. sensor is built into the air flow meter and senses the\
intake air temperature.
The structure of the sensor and connection to the ECU is the same as in the\
water temp. sensor shown on page
TR±68.
If the ECU records the diagnostic code º24º, it operates the fail \
safe function, keeping the intake air temperature
at a constant 20 5C (68 5F).
