P0113 Fault code.

[ant]

I am having a P0113 fault code making the engine check light come on and off.I have a Ramair filter kit
fitted and have been having this problem for quite sometime.
I have cleaned and checked the sensor connections without any change.

Any thoughts please.

Did you look up the error code? What I find doing a quick search is that it is related to the Intake Air Sensor.

Not knowing anything about the filter you are using, did it involve moving the IAT? And if so, how did you re-position the sensor? Is it enclosed in its own filter similar to the setup when using triple K&Ns? Did you possibly damage the sensor, or disconnect the wires?

Those are the things I'd check.

Edited to add:

A piece of unsolicited advice. If you don't know the meaning of a code I'd strongly advise not deleting it. There are codes that if ignored can lead to serious if not catastrophic damage to your engine.

P0113 AIR TEMP SENSOR High.
that means either the temp sensor is shorted (a lot of temp sensors measures about 1000 ohms depending on temp) or the wires are shorted together. or another positive wire is shorted to the wire that goes to ecu.
in other words on the ground (air temp sensor) going to the ecu the ecu is expecting to see a voltage drop on that ground wire it is measuring and it doesn't. there for circuit high. hth
if the sensor or wires had and open then the code would read circuit low meaning the ecu was not reading enough volts.


this is wrong decosse is correct

P0113 AIR TEMP SENSOR High.
that means either the temp sensor is shorted ...

sensor high would actually mean 'open' rather than 'short'.
Typically connector is simply disconnected when this error is reported.

Not sure about the proximity in the harness of this on the R3 but a member on the T'Rat forum had this same issue recently when he connected the Purge Valve connector instead of the Air Temp; (Yes, they use same connector type!)
the air temp connector has Pink/Orange & Pink/Black wires while the Purge Valve connector has Yellow/Red and Brown/Pink

After connecting it properly he had then a P0112 error and the sensor was bad and required replacement.
(I'm presuming damaged by applying 12V from the Purge Valve connector)

OR - you might just have a bad sensor - it should read about 2.5K ohms at ambient temp if you have a meter that measures resistance.

well i guess i will have to make sure brain is working before putting fingers in gear.
