It will have 2 wires going to a plug mounted on the air intake track or air intake manifold of most vehicles.. If you cannot find your IAT and your car is 2000+ , then it maybe built into your MAF = Mass Air Flow meter and will have 4-5 wires going to it.

What does the intake air temperature sensor do on a Ford?

P0113 FORD Description The Intake Air Temperature (IAT) sensor is built into Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor. The sensor detects intake air temperature and transmits a signal to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). The temperature sensing unit uses a thermistor which is sensitive to the change in temperature.

How do I replace the IAT sensor on my air conditioner?

If the reading for a given temperature is approximately that shown in the table, the IAT sensor is okay. Attach the wiring harness connector to the sensor. Disconnect the negative battery cable. Disengage the wiring harness connector from the IAT sensor. Remove the sensor from the air cleaner outlet tube.
