IAT Sensor Intermittent
on 2012 Ford Explorer 2.0L I4 EcoBoost · AWD
What this code means
The Intake Air Temperature sensor signal is intermittent. The PCM detects erratic fluctuations in the IAT signal, which affects the air/fuel mixture calculations.
Symptoms
- Check Engine Light
- Rough idle when cold
- Poor cold-start performance
- Fluctuating idle
Common causes
- Loose IAT sensor connector
- Corroded IAT sensor wiring
- Faulty IAT sensor
- Damaged connector pins
Diagnostic steps
- Inspect IAT sensor connector for corrosion or looseness
- Wiggle test wiring while monitoring IAT reading
- Test IAT sensor resistance (should change smoothly with temperature)
- Check wiring continuity
Repair notes
Repair connector or wiring. Replace IAT sensor if faulty.
