DTC P0111 INTAKE AIR TEMPERATURE SENSOR 1 CIRCUIT RANGE/PERFORMANCE BANK 1
DTC detecting condition:
Detected when two consecutive driving cycles with fault occur.
Trouble symptom:
• Improper idling
• Poor driving performance

| STEP | CHECK | YES | NO |
1.CHECK ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE.
1) Start the engine and warm up completely.
2) Read the value of «Coolant Temp.» using the Subaru Select Monitor or a general scan tool.
NOTE:
• Subaru Select Monitor
For detailed operation procedures, refer to “Current Data Display For Engine”. Subaru Select Monitor">
• General scan tool
For detailed operation procedures, refer to the general scan tool operation manual.
Is the value of «Coolant Temp.» 75°C (167°F) or more?
Replace the mass air flow and intake air temperature sensor. Mass Air Flow and Intake Air Temperature Sensor">

1. OUTLINE OF DIAGNOSIS
Detect the malfunction of the intake air temperature sensor output properties. Using the following two diagnoses, judge as NG when either is NG.
• Diagnosis 1 (correlation diagnosis): After the engine starts after the specified period of soaking time has elapsed, diagnose by correlation between intake air temperature sensor value, engine coolant temperature sensor value and ambient temperature sensor value. Judge as NG when the differences are both above the specified value by comparing between intake air temperature and engine coolant temperature, intake air temperature and ambient air temperature.
• Diagnosis 2 (stuck diagnosis): Judge as NG when intake air temperature does not change under the driving condition where it should change, considering engine condition.

4. GENERAL DRIVING CYCLE
• Diagnosis 1: Perform the diagnosis only once after the engine starts after a certain period of soaking time.
• Diagnosis 2: Perform the diagnosis when the vehicle speed condition is met after warming up from a cold condition.
5. DIAGNOSTIC METHOD
Judge as NG when Diagnosis 1 or Diagnosis 2 becomes NG.
Diagnosis 1
If the duration of time while the following conditions are met is longer than the time indicated, judge as NG.
Malfunction Criteria | Threshold Value |
|Intake air temperature 30 sec. after engine start − Engine coolant temperature at engine start| | > Value of Map 2 |
|Intake air temperature 30 sec. after engine start − Ambient air temperature 30 sec. after engine start| | > Value of Map 3 |
Ambient temperature °C (°F) | −30 (−22) | 30 (86) | 45 (113) | 60 (140) |
|Intake air temperature 30 sec. after engine start − Engine coolant temperature at engine start| °C (°F) | 12 (21.6) | 12 (21.6) | 22 (39.6) | 22 (39.6) |
