P0095 Intake Air Temperature Sensor 2 Circuit Bank 1

Definition: The OBD-II code P0095 is defined as “Intake Air Temperature Sensor 2 Circuit Bank 1.” This code indicates that the Engine Control Module (ECM) has detected a problem with the intake air temperature sensor circuit for bank 1, specifically sensor 2.

P0095 Intake Air Temperature Sensor 2 Circuit Bank 1

Description: The Engine Control Module (ECM) monitors the Intake Air Temperature Sensor 2. The ECM sets the OBDII code when the Intake Air Temperature Sensor 2 is out of factory specifications.

Severity: Moderate

Common Causes

P0095 – Intake Air Temperature Sensor 2 Circuit Bank 1

Description: The Engine Control Module (ECM) monitors the Intake Air Temperature Sensor 2. The ECM sets the OBDII code when the Intake Air Temperature Sensor 2 is out of factory specifications.

Common Causes:

• Faulty intake air temperature sensor
• Open or short in the wiring harness
• Poor electrical connection at the intake air temperature sensor
• Intake air temperature sensor circuit is open or shorted
• Engine Control Module (ECM) needs to be reprogrammed

 

Common Misdiagnosis

OBD2 Code: P0095

Description: Intake Air Temperature Sensor 2 Circuit Bank 1

Common Misdiagnosis: Replacing the intake air temperature sensor without checking for wiring issues or connector problems.

 

Common Diagnostic Steps

OBD2 Code: P0095

Description: Intake Air Temperature Sensor 2 Circuit Bank 1

• Check for any stored trouble codes and freeze frame data to understand the conditions when the code was set.
• Inspect the intake air temperature sensor wiring and connectors for damage, corrosion, or disconnection.
• Test the intake air temperature sensor using a multimeter to ensure it is within manufacturer specifications.
• Verify that there are no vacuum leaks in the intake system that could affect sensor readings.
• Examine the engine control module (ECM) for proper operation and software updates if necessary.
• If applicable, check related fuses and relays for continuity and proper function.
• Clear the code after repairs are made and perform a test drive to ensure the issue is resolved.
