Intake Air Temperature Sensor: Description and Operation

The Intake Air Temperature sensor (IAT sensor) changes resistance in response to intake air temperature. The IAT sensor resistance decreases as the
surrounding air temperature increases. This provides a signal to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) indicating temperature of the incoming intake
air.
