• Loss of power or poor engine performance
• Engine running too rich or too lean
• Incorrect temperature readings on dashboard

What Does an Air Temperature Sensor Do?

The Air Temperature Sensor (also known as Intake Air Temperature or IAT sensor) measures the temperature of the air entering the engine. This critical data is sent to the engine control unit (ECU), which uses it to calculate air density and adjust fuel injection and ignition timing accordingly. Colder air is denser and requires more fuel, while warmer air is less dense and requires less fuel. Without an accurate air temperature sensor, the engine cannot properly optimize performance and fuel efficiency across varying temperature conditions.
