Intake air temperature sensor replacement

Intake air temperature sensor replacement

This sensor measures the air temperature and sends the relevant data to the Engine Control Unit (ECU), which determines the density of air on this basis and doses the fuel supplied to the combustion chamber. The most common cause of its failure is contamination resulting from wear. A faulty sensor usually causes problems with starting the engine, its operation and acceleration.

Tips

  • A faulty sensor may result in increased fuel consumption
  • A faulty temperature sensor may result in wrong indications being displayed by the ECU and, consequently, affect the operation of the other sensors

Scope of services

  • Diagnosing the intake manifold
  • Replacing the sensor with a new one
