P1111 2015 Chevrolet Silverado Code - Intake Air Temperature Sensor Circuit Intermittent High Voltage

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 (Integrated within the Mass Air Flow / Multifunction Intake Air 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.

Code P1111 2015 Chevrolet Silverado Description

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. The signal varies with inlet air temperature in the sensor bore and is displayed by the scan tool as °C (°F). The IAT sensor 2 and the humidity sensor share the same circuit. The IAT sensor 2 signal is displayed by the scan tool as Hertz (Hz) and °C (°F). The Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will be set when the ECM detects a fault is detected on the IAT signal or control circuits.
