DTC

P007A11

Charge Air Cooler Temperature Sensor Bank 1 Circuit Short to Ground

DESCRIPTION

The intake air temperature sensor, built into the No. 2 turbo pressure sensor, monitors the intake air temperature. The intake air temperature sensor has a built-in thermistor with a resistance that varies according to the temperature of the intake air. When the intake air temperature is low, the resistance of the thermistor increases. When the temperature is high, the resistance drops. These variations in resistance are transmitted to the ECM as voltage changes (See Fig. 1).

The intake air temperature sensor is powered by a 5 V supply from the THTA terminal of the ECM, via resistor R.

Resistor R and the intake air temperature sensor are connected in series. When the resistance value of the intake air temperature sensor changes, according to changes in the intake air temperature, the voltage at terminal THTA also varies. Based on this signal, the ECM increases the fuel injection volume when the engine is cold to improve driveability.

HINT:

When DTC P007A11 or P007A15 is stored, the ECM enters fail-safe mode. During fail-safe mode, the intake air temperature is estimated to be 45°C (113°F) by the ECM. Fail-safe mode continues until a pass condition is detected.

SAE Code: P007C

HINT:

When a DTC is output, check the Data List item "Intake Air Temperature B1S1 (Turbo)" using the GTS.

Malfunction

P007A11

140°C (284°F)

Short in THTA circuit to ground

If the Data List displays a normal value, the normal value may be due to a temporary recovery from the malfunction condition. Check for intermittent problems.

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

The ECM calculates the intake manifold internal temperature from the intake air temperature sensor output voltage. If the intake air temperature sensor output voltage is outside the normal range, there may be a malfunction or open or short circuit in the intake air temperature sensor. In this case, the ECM stores a DTC.

Example:

When the sensor output voltage below 0.1 V for 3 seconds or more, the ECM stores DTC P007A11.

CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN

  1. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.
  2. Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the GTS on.
  3. Clear the DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC procedure).
  4. Turn the ignition switch off and wait for at least 30 seconds.
  5. Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the GTS on.
  6. Wait 5 seconds or more.
  7. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Trouble Codes.
  8. Read the pending DTCs.

    HINT:

    • If a pending DTC is output, the system is malfunctioning.
    • If a pending DTC is not output, perform the following procedure.
  9. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Utility / All Readiness.
  10. Input the DTC: P007A11.
  11. Check the DTC judgment result.

    Description

    NORMAL
    • DTC judgment completed
    • System normal

    ABNORMAL
    • DTC judgment completed
    • System abnormal

    INCOMPLETE
    • DTC judgment not completed
    • Perform driving pattern after confirming DTC enabling conditions

    HINT:

    • If the judgment result shows NORMAL, the system is normal.
    • If the judgment result shows ABNORMAL, the system has a malfunction.

WIRING DIAGRAM

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

HINT:

Read Freeze Frame Data using the GTS. The ECM records vehicle and driving condition information as Freeze Frame Data the moment a DTC is stored. When troubleshooting, Freeze Frame Data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.
