OBD-II code · Powertrain (generic)
P0113 Intake Air Temperature Sensor High Input
The IAT signal voltage is above threshold, which the ECU interprets as an implausibly cold intake (open-circuit-like behaviour). Usually open wiring or a sensor that has failed open.
Is it safe to drive with P0113?
Usually safe to drive in the short term. Get it diagnosed when convenient, sooner if the car drives differently.
