Okay, the wires where there are multiples of the same color with the colored cap over them are factory splice points. They look strange but they are OE. Normally they would either be taped up or run inside the loom. The first image is what the schematic shows but what you found is what they actually look like. All the wires run back, get crimped together and capped. P0110 is intake air temperature sensor. The common failure with them is in the connector or in the harness where the wire gets chaffed through. The fastest way to test it would be using a scan tool that can show you the intake air temperature. If the IAT reads -40 (40 below zero) the circuit is open, broken wire or bad connection. If it reads +284 degrees or more the wires are shorted together.
To test it without a scan tool set your meter to volts and unplug the connector. With the key on check the voltage at pin 3(Yellow with green stripe), you should have 5 volts. If you do then switch the meter to ohms, connect one lead to a good ground, then touch the other to pin 4 (brown w Black stripe) in the harness connector. You should see zero ohms or close to it if the circuit is okay. If either wire tests wrong you found the problem.
As for the DLC issue, please ask that as a different question, we try to keep topics limited to one problem to make searching the site easier. Oh, and what sites are you referring to? Just so people might get a heads up.
