P0113

Intake air temperature circuit high input

The controller saw intake-air-temperature circuit voltage corresponding to an implausibly cold value or an open/high-input condition.

01

Conditions that can produce P0113

These are diagnostic branches, not a ranked parts list. Prevalence and testing order depend on the exact vehicle and failure scene.

  • Disconnected sensor or spread terminal
  • Open signal or sensor-ground circuit
  • Failed temperature element
  • Connector contamination or harness damage
  • Incorrect component or pinout
02

What to inspect next

  1. Compare intake temperature with ambient and coolant after a cold soak
  2. Inspect connector fit and shared sensor ground
  3. Use exact circuit voltage and resistance specifications
  4. Confirm whether the temperature element is part of another sensor assembly

Verify the repair

Preserve the pre-repair record, document exactly what changed, then repeat the relevant operating condition safely. Confirm no current or pending fault returns, review permanent-code and readiness state where applicable, and state which tests or modules remained unavailable.
