P0097 Code - Intake Air Temperature Sensor 2 Circuit Low
Quick Answer
The Intake Air Temperature (IAT) sensor 1 is a variable resistor that changes the voltage on the Engine Control Module (ECM) supplied 5 V signal circuit. Common causes include Faulty Intake Air Temperature (IAT) sensor, Intake Air Temperature sensor harness is open or shorted, Intake Air Temperature sensor circuit poor electrical connection. Severity is High - diagnose this code as soon as possible. Driving is not recommended if the warning light is flashing, the engine runs poorly, or safety-related symptoms are present.

I have a 2011 Chevy Cruze I'm working on it has a p0097 I have checked all the normal problems with this concern I have replaced the wiring harness and the computer and could still keep coming back when checking with the scan tool it shows this circuit is shorted unplug the air temp sensor it Still Remains the Same when it should show a negative 40 degrees, do not know what to do if feels like I'm running out of options

You said you have replaced the harness and computer, have you replaced the sensor it self? ( the IAT is integrated with the MAP )
