DTC 24 Intake Air Temp. Sensor Circuit
• Indicates the diagnostic
trouble code, diagnostic

and suspect area of the
problem.
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The intake air temp. sensor is built into the volume air flow meter and senses the intake air temperature.
The structure of the sensor and connection to the ECM is the same as in the engine coolant temp. sensor shown on page EG-424.
If the ECM detects the diagnostic trouble code "24", it operates the fail safe function in which the intake air temperature is assumed to be 20°C(68°F).
DTC No. | Diagnostic Trouble Code Detecting Condition | Trouble Area
