DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) P1111
INTAKE AIR TEMPERATURE INTERMITTENT HIGH
VOLTAGE
Circuit Description
The Intake Air Temperature (IAT) sensor is a thermistor
which measures the temperature of the air entering the en-
gine. The Engine Control Module (ECM) applies 5 volts
through a pull–up resistor to the IAT sensor. When the in-
take air is cold, the resistance is high, and the ECM will
monitor a high signal voltage on the IAT signal circuit. If the
intake air is warm, the sensor resistance is lower causing
the ECM to monitor a lower voltage. Diagnostic Trouble
Code (DTC) P1111 will set when the ECM detects an inter-
mittent high signal voltage in the intake air temperature
sensor signal circuit or sensor.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
S IAT is less than –38°C (–36°F).
S DTCs P0502, P0117, P0118 are not set
S Engine has been running for over 120 seconds.
S Vehicles speed is less than 25 km/h (16 mph).
S Calculated air flow is less than 15 g/second.
S Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) is above 70°C
(158°F).
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
S The ECM will substitute a default value for IAT.
S The ECM will store conditions which were present
when the DTC set as Failure Records data only.
This information will not be stored as Freeze Frame
data.
S The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) will not illumi-
nate.S A history DTC is stored.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
S A history DTC will clear after 40 consecutive warm–
up cycles without a fault.
S DTC(s) can be cleared by using the scan tool.
S Disconnecting the ECM battery feed for more than
10 seconds.
Diagnostic Aids
Check for the following conditions:
S Poor connection at the ECM. Inspect harness con-
nectors for backed–out terminals, improper mating,
broken locks, improperly formed or damaged termi-
nals, and poor terminal–to–wire connection.
S Damaged harness. Inspect the wiring harness for
damage. If the harness appears to be OK, observe
the IAT display on the scan tool while moving con-
nectors and wiring harnesses related to the IAT
sensor. A change in the IAT display will indicate the
location of the fault.
S Reviewing the Fail Records vehicle mileage since
the diagnostic test last failed may help determine
how often the condition that caused the DTC to be
set occurs. This may assist in diagnosing the condi-
tion.
S Use the Temperature vs. Resistance Values table
to evaluate the possibility of a skewed sensor. Re-
fer to ”Temperature vs. Resistance” in this section.

ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE INTERMITTENT LOW
VOLTAGE
Circuit Description
The Engine Coolant Temperature sensor (ECT) is a
thermistor mounted in the engine coolant stream. The En-
gine control Module (ECM) applies 5 volt reference volt-
age through a pull–up resistor to the ECT signal circuit.
When the engine coolant is cold, the sensor resistance is
high, and the ECM will monitor a high signal voltage. As
the engine coolant warms, the sensor resistance is less,
and the ECT signal voltage measured at the ECM drops.
With a fully warmed engine, the ECT signal voltage should
measure about 1.5 to 2.0 volts. If the ECM detects an ECT
signal that is intermittently below the range of the ECT
sensor, Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P1114 will set.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
S ECT is less than 149°C (300°F).
S Engine has been running for over 60 seconds.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets

DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) P1121
THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR INTERMITTENT HIGH
VOLTAGE
Circuit Description
The Throttle Position (TP) sensor circuit provides a volt-
age signal that changes relative to throttle blade angle.
The TP sensor sends a voltage signal back to the Engine
Control Module (ECM) relative to the throttle plate open-
ing. The voltage signal will vary from approximately 0.33
volts at closed throttle, to over 4.3 volts at Wide Open
Throttle (WOT).
The TP signal is used by the ECM for fuel control and for
most of the ECM controlled outputs. The TP signal is one
of the most important inputs used by the ECM for fuel con-
trol and most of the ECM controlled outputs. If the ECM
detects a TP signal that is intermittently above the range
of the TP sensor, Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P1121
will be set.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
S TP sensor voltage indicates a throttle voltage inter-
mittently greater than 4.9 volts.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
S The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) will not illumi-
nate.
S The ECM will store conditions which were present
when the DTC set as Failure Records data only.
This information will not be stored as Freeze Frame
data.
S A history DTC is stored.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
S A history will clear after 40 consecutive warm–up
cycles in which the diagnostic runs without a fault.S DTC(s) can be cleared by using the scan tool.
S Disconnecting the ECM battery feed for more than
10 seconds.
Diagnostic Aids
Check for the following conditions:
S Poor connection at the ECM. Inspect harness con-
nectors for backed–out terminals, improper mating,
broken locks, improperly formed or damaged termi-
nals, and poor terminal–to–wire connection.
S Damaged harness. Inspect the wiring harness for
damage. If the harness appears OK, observe the
throttle position display on the scan tool while mov-
ing connectors and wiring harnesses related to the
TP sensor. A change in the display will indicate the
location of the fault.
If DTC P1121 cannot be duplicated, reviewing the Fail Re-
cords vehicle mileage since the diagnostic test last failed
may help determine how often the condition that caused
the DTC to be set occurs. This may assist in diagnosing
the condition.
