Typical oxygen sensor
The oxygen sensors on later model vehicles are equipped with a heater circuit. The heater
circuit in the oxygen sensor shortens the time required for the sensor to reach operating
temperature and provides a more accurate signal.
IAT Sensor
The Intake Air Temperature (IAT) sensor is variable temperature sensitive resistor that
measures the temperature of the air in the intake system. Sensor resistance will change
based on air temperature. The higher the temperature is, the lower the resistance. The
Power Train Control Module (PCM) provides a reference voltage and monitors the voltage
drop between a fixed value internal resistance and the sensor resistance. This is called a
voltage divider circuit.
IAT sensor values are used by the PCM processor to assist with the calculation of idle
speed, fuel mixture and spark advance.
Inaccurate voltages from the IAT sensor may affect pulse-width, idle quality, and tail pipe
emissions. Intermittent signals may cause hesitation, stumble and surging. If an IAT
