The IAT detects the temperature of the incoming air stream.On vehicles equipped with a MAP sensor,the IAT is located in air passage.On MAF sensor equipped vehicles,the IAT is part of the MAF sensor.
The IAT is used for detecting ambient temperature on a cold start and intake air temperature as the engine heats up the incoming air.
