Nissan Maxima Service and Repair Manual: P0127 IAT sensor

Nissan Maxima Service and Repair Manual / Engine / Engine control system / DTC/circuit diagnosis / P0127 IAT sensor

Description

Nissan Maxima. Description

The intake air temperature sensor is built-into the mass air flow sensor (1). The sensor detects intake air temperature and transmits a signal to the ECM.

The temperature sensing unit uses a thermistor which is sensitive to the change in temperature. Electrical resistance of the thermistor decreases in response to the rise in temperature.
