Hi,

The IAT on this vehicle isn't a separate component. The intake air temperature sensor is integrated into the mass air flow (MAF).

Here is a link that shows in general how to replace one:

_________________________

The MAF sensor is integrated into the air intake tube between the air filter box and the throttle body. See pic 1.

To remove it, simply disconnect the electrical connector and then there are two bolts (one on each side of the sensor) that need to be removed. Remove the bolts and sensor.

Install is the reverse of removal.

You may want to try cleaning the sensor before buying a new one. Here is a link that shows how that is done.

Let me know if this helps or if you have other questions. Also, if there is a specific trouble code that is pointing you in the direction of replacing this sensor, let me know what it is.

Take care,
Joe
