Diagnostic trouble code P0113 stands for “Intake Air Temperature (IAT) Sensor Circuit High Input.” If your OBD-II scanner reports this code, it means your car's computer has determined that there's a problem with the IAT sensor 1 or its circuit. A working IAT sensor sends its readings to the PCM.

What is IAT sensor circuit High Voltage?
Error code P0113 indicates that the computer has received a high voltage signal from the intake air temperature sensor. This code will occur when the powertrain control module (PCM) receives a voltage of 5 volts or more from the IAT. This indicates a problem between the IAT and the PCM.
What happens when an IAT sensor goes bad?
A malfunctioning IAT sensor may cause your vehicle to take longer to start on cold mornings. The faulty IAT sensor tells the car's computer that the air in the intake is a different temperature than it actually is and may cause the vehicle to not deliver the proper fuel mixture to the engine.
Can a dirty air filter cause a P0113 code?
A faulty IAT sensor is the most common cause of a P0113 code. Dirty Air Filter: A dirty air filter is the second most common cause of error code P0113. If your air filter is dirty enough to hinder airflow, your air intake system has to work harder or may receive inadequate airflow.
Can I drive with P0113 code?
It is okay to drive a vehicle with P0113 for a short period of time, but driving with this code for an extended period of time can cause internal engine damage due to the engine running so lean.
What causes high intake air temperature?
Intake air temperature sensor failure. Wiring issues such as open or shorted intake air temperature sensor wiring and/or connectors. Faulty mass air flow (MAF) sensor (sometimes the IAT is integrated into the MAF) Defective intake air inlet pipe.
What is intake air temperature circuit high input?
Diagnostic trouble code P0113 stands for “Intake Air Temperature (IAT) Sensor Circuit High Input.” If your OBD-II scanner reports this code, it means your car's computer has determined that there's a problem with the IAT sensor 1 or its circuit. A working IAT sensor sends its readings to the PCM.
Can you clean a intake air temperature sensor?
To clean the intake air temp sensor: remove the duct from the throttle body and spray the sensor. Two or three shots will remove almost any oil-based contamination from it. The stuff dries fast, almost instantly.
What is a normal IAT temperature?
To use the scan tool, you need to perform the following steps. Attach the scan tool to the vehicle, and turn on the engine. After turning it on, check for the temperature of the IAT sensor. It should be 10°F above or below the ambient temperature of the vehicle.
How long do IAT sensors last?
Repair results of several makes and models show the average lifespan of an intake temperature sensor is around 125,000 - 150,000 miles.
