When is the P0098 code detected?
The Engine Control Module (ECM) has detected a high voltage condition on the Intake Air Temperature (IAT) circuit.
Not following the testing step-by-step to locate the problem within the IAT system
Replacing parts before conducting thorough pinpoint tests or visual checks
Common mistakes when diagnosing the P0098 code?
Not verifying IAT failure by clearing the codes and road testing to see if the problem comes backNot following the testing step-by-step to locate the problem within the IAT system

P0098 Acura Description
The Intake Air Temperature (IAT) sensor contains a semiconductor device which changes the resistance based on the temperature (a thermistor). The IAT sensor is located in the air intake passage of the engine air induction system. The IAT sensor has a signal circuit and a ground circuit.
