P0096 - Intake Air Temperature Sensor 2 Circuit Range/Performance (Bank 1) - DTC Chart

P0096 - INTAKE AIR TEMPERATURE SENSOR 2 CIRCUIT RANGE/PERFORMANCE (BANK 1) - DTC CHART

Description:  This DTC sets when the intake air temperature 2 (IAT2) sensor PID does not correlate with the charge air cooler temperature (CACT) sensor or the intake air temperature (IAT) sensor PIDs at ignition ON. It also sets if the IAT2 sensor PID exceeds the maximum calibrated temperature threshold while driving.
Possible Causes: 
  • Slow responding intake air temperature 2 (IAT2) sensor
  • Damaged IAT2 sensor
Diagnostic Aids:  The IAT2 sensor is located on top of the intake manifold. Aftermarket heaters that are attached to the engine, transmission or battery may cause DTC P0096 to set in cold weather climates after a 6 hour soak period.
This DTC may be accompanied by other DTCs. Check for other DTCs and diagnose those first.
