- Verify that there is good pin to terminal contact in the Intake Air Temperature Sensor and Powertrain Control Module connectors. Replace
the IAT Sensor if no problems were found in the connectors.
- Perform the PCM Verification Test.See: Verification Tests/Powertrain Verification Test

No

- Go to 6

6. POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM)

Using the wiring diagram/schematic as a guide, inspect the wiring and connectors between the Intake Air Temperature Sensor and the Powertrain
Control Module (PCM).
Look for any chafed, pierced, pinched, or partially broken wires.
Look for broken, bent, pushed out or corroded terminals.
Verify that there is good pin to terminal contact in the Intake Air Temperature Sensor and Powertrain Control Module connectors.
Monitor the scan tool data relative to this circuit and wiggle test the wiring and connectors.
Look for the data to change or for the DTC to reset during the wiggle test.
Search for any Technical Service Bulletins that may apply.
Were any problems found?

Yes

- Repair as necessary.
- Perform the PCM Verification Test.See: Verification Tests/Powertrain Verification Test

No

- Replace and program the Powertrain Control Module (PCM).

- Perform the PCM Verification Test.See: Verification Tests/Powertrain Verification Test

Always perform the Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding.See: Powertrain Management/Computers and Control
Systems/Testing and Inspection/Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview

Diagnostic Test

1. DTC IS ACTIVE
Start the engine and allow it to reach normal operating temperature.

WARNING: When the engine is operating, do not stand in direct line with the fan. Do not put your hands near the pulleys, belts, or fan.
Do not wear loose clothing. Failure to follow these instructions can result in personal injury or death.

With the scan tool, select View DTCs.

Is the status Active for this DTC?

Yes

- Go to 2

No

- Refer to the *CHECKING FOR AN INTERMITTENT DTC Diagnostic Procedure.See: Powertrain Management/Computers and Control
Systems/Testing and Inspection/Symptom Related Diagnostic Procedures/Checking For An Intermittent DTC

2. (K21) IAT SIGNAL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO VOLTAGE

Turn the ignition off.

Disconnect the Intake Air Temperature Sensor connector.
Disconnect the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) connector.
Turn the ignition on.
Measure the voltage of the (K21) IAT Signal circuit in the Intake Air Temperature Sensor harness connector.
Is there any voltage present?

Yes

- Repair the (K21) IAT Signal circuit for a short to voltage.

- Perform the PCM Verification Test Ver. 1See: Verification Tests/Powertrain Verification Test.

No

- Go to 3

3. (K21) IAT SIGNAL OPEN OR HIGH RESISTANCE

Turn the ignition off.

NOTE: When checking circuits at the Powertrain Control Module (PCM), be careful not to damage or distort the connector terminals.
Improper measurement technique could result in poor pin to terminal contact.

Measure the resistance of the (K21) IAT Signal circuit between the Intake Air Temperature Sensor harness connector and the Powertrain Control
Module (PCM) harness connector.
Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms?

Yes

- Go to 4

No

- Repair the (K21) IAT Signal circuit for an open circuit or high resistance.
- Perform the PCM Verification Test Ver. 1See: Verification Tests/Powertrain Verification Test.

4. (K900) SENSOR GROUND CIRCUIT OPEN OR HIGH RESISTANCE

 Dodge Avenger L4-2.4L 4306

NOTE: When checking circuits at the Powertrain Control Module (PCM), be careful not to damage or distort the connector terminals.
Improper measurement technique could result in poor pin to terminal contact.

Measure the resistance of the (K900) Sensor Ground circuit between the Intake Air Temperature Sensor harness connector and the Powertrain
Control Module (PCM) harness connector.
Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms?

Yes

- Go to 5

No

- Repair the (K900) Sensor Ground circuit for an open circuit or high resistance.
- Perform the PCM Verification Test Ver. 1See: Verification Tests/Powertrain Verification Test.

5. INTAKE AIR TEMPERATURE SENSOR SIGNAL VOLTAGE

 Dodge Avenger L4-2.4L 4307

Turn the ignition off.

Connect the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) connector.
Connect a jumper wire between the (K21) IAT Signal circuit and the (K900) Sensor Ground in the Intake Air Temperature Sensor harness
connector.
Turn the ignition on.
With the scan tool, read the Intake Air Temperature Sensor signal voltage.
Is the voltage below 1.0 volt with the jumper wire in place?

Yes

- Go to 6

No

- Go to 7

6. INTAKE AIR TEMPERATURE SENSOR

Turn the ignition off.
Inspect the wiring and connectors between the Intake Air Temperature Sensor and the Powertrain Control Module (PCM).
Look for any chafed, pierced, pinched, or partially broken wires.
Look for broken, bent, pushed out or corroded terminals. Verify that there is good pin to terminal contact in the related connectors.
Were any problems found?

Yes

- Repair as necessary.
- Perform the PCM Verification Test Ver. 1See: Verification Tests/Powertrain Verification Test.

No

- Replace the Intake Air Temperature Sensor.

- Perform the PCM Verification Test Ver. 1See: Verification Tests/Powertrain Verification Test.

7. POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM)

Using the wiring diagram/schematic as a guide, inspect the wiring and connectors between the Intake Air Temperature Sensor and the Powertrain
Control Module (PCM).
