Default Intake Air Temperature High....

I had the diagnostic codes of C 25 and H 25 coming up and setting off the SYS warning in the dash. I checked and found that it was both a Current and History warning of a High Intake Air Temperature.

After doing some searches on this site, I found that the sensor can be checked for resistance depending on the air temperature. Mine was shorted with no resistance showing on a meter check, so I replaced the sensor.

Right after I replaced the sensor, I didn't have the C 25 diagnostic code anymore and thought it would just be a matter of time before the H 25 went away. However, all week it still showed the SYS warning, and today after checking the codes again, I am getting a C 25 and an H 25!

Can anyone suggest what I might check next?

Thanks.

Did you clear the codes after changing the sensor?

No I did not reset the codes, but the Current C 25 code did not show up right after I changed the sensor, but it is showing up again now, a week later.

I don't think it makes any difference, but I have a '93 LT 1.

Sometimes on computer controlled cars, I will disconnect the battery for a few minutes and reconnect. This clears all codes and "reboots" the computer for a fresh start. Sometimes it will fix things.

Hey Steve is it SYS light or Service Engine Soon light? Code 25 for SYS light is for courtesy lamp relay control circuit, code 25 for ECM is IAT sensor. Possible you are diagnosing wrong computer? Let me know if you need CCM diagnostics.

How is the engine running?
Does it die when cold and you have to feather the gas to keep it running?

The SYS warning comes on, then when I check for codes by shorting A & G, it shows "1" and then codes "C 25" and "H 25", so I'm not really sure?

The engine runs great. There are no driveability problems at all.

OK, I disconnected the negative side of the battery and reconnected after about 30 seconds. Same SYS warning light comes on.

I also checked the passenger side courtesy light. It did NOT come on with the ignition on and passenger door open. I pulled down the panel, and the light (which sort of looks like a fuse, tested for continuity, it was not blown). Then I checked the fuse box on the passenger side, and checked both the left hand and right hand courtesy lights (in the same row as radio but on the other end) and both fuses were good.

Any other ideas?

Steve

Steve A - G is CCM A -B is ECM
Try this

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION

The courtesy lamp relay coil circuit is completed by the CCM when it receives a courtesy lamps "ON" request from any of a number of different inputs door locks, door ajar switches); the CCM grounds CKT 690, energizing the relay coil.

DTC 25 will set when CKT 690 is NOT at battery voltage for over 600 milliseconds while the CCM is NOT attempting to actuate the courtesy lamp relay not asking for courtesy lamps "ON").
I have some more info if you need it.

That's great Bob, thank you for finding that. My first question is, where do I find the "courtesy lamp relay" so I can do the first test?

I am going to hold you to that. I'll be in SW Florida at the end of August. Specifically in Nortrh Port. My folks live there. Going to check out Muscle Car City in PG. Any other suggestions? Seriously if you need any more help let me know.

OK, I know I'm not very smart, but I assumed that those relays shown would be on the engine side of the firewall? I can't find anything in my engine compartment that looks like the diagram.

Where should I be looking?

Going from memory that should be under pass side of dash. Crappy picture i know. remove pass side "hush panel" and look up.
Good luck in your search.
