HINT:
After confirming DTC P0110 use the OBD II scan tool or TOYOTA hand−held tester to confirm the intake
air temp. from "CURRENT DATA".

The intake air temp. sensor is built into the mass air flow meter
and senses the intake air temp.
A thermistor built in the sensor changes the resistance value
according to the intake air temp.
The lower the intake air temp., the greater the thermistor resis-
tance value, and the higher the intake air temp., the lower the
thermistor resistance value (See fig. 1).
The intake air temp. sensor is connected to the ECM (See be-
low ). The 5 V power source voltage in the ECM is applied to the
intake air temp. sensor from the terminal THA via resistor R.
That is, the resistor R and the intake air temp. sensor are con-
nected in series. When the resistance value of the intake air
temp. sensor changes in accordance with changes in the intake
air temp., the potential at terminal THA also changes. Based on
this signal, the ECM increases the fuel injection volume to im-
prove driveability during cold engine operation.
If the ECM detects the DTC "P0110", it operates the fail safe
function in which the intake air temp. is assumed to be 20°C
(68°F).
