Applicable Systems
OBD-II
Symptoms
Check engine light may flash intermittently. The engine may experience occasional rich or lean running conditions. The IAT sensor signal is intermittently out of range.
Possible Causes
- Intermittent wiring connection at IAT sensor
- IAT sensor internal intermittent failure
- Vibration-induced intermittent open circuit
- Corroded terminals with intermittent contact
- Wiring harness flexing near engine components
Troubleshooting Steps
- Step 1: Connect an OBD-II scan tool and read all stored DTCs and freeze frame data
All DTCs and freeze frame data are retrieved - Step 2: Inspect the related sensor or actuator wiring for damage, corrosion, or loose connections
Wiring and connectors are in good condition - Step 3: Use a digital multimeter to check sensor voltage, resistance, and reference signals per manufacturer specifications
Values are within specified range - Step 4: Perform component-level testing of the suspected sensor or actuator
Component passes or fails definitively - Step 5: Clear codes and road test to verify repair
Code does not return and system operates normally
How to Reset
To reset code P0114: 1) Repair the underlying fault. 2) Use an OBD-II scan tool to clear the DTC. 3) Perform a drive cycle to verify the monitor completes. 4) If the code returns, further diagnosis is needed. Caution: Do not clear codes without fixing the root cause.
