Yes, the TIPM is what fixes this problem, if you get a new one they are plug and play you do not need to initialize them.
REMOVAL
The TIPM (TIPM) is serviced as a unit with the engine compartment wire harness. If any internal circuit of the TIPM or the TIPM housing is faulty or damaged, the entire TIPM and engine compartment wire harness unit must be replaced. Refer to Wiring Diagrams for the locations of the affected connectors.
1. Open hood.
2. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.
3. Disconnect each of the engine compartment wire harness connectors.
4. Remove the fasteners that secure each of the engine compartment wire harness ground eyelets to the vehicle body and chassis components.
5. Disengage each of the retainers that secure the engine compartment wire harness to the vehicle body and chassis components.
The Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) is serviced as a unit with the engine compartment wire harness. If any internal circuit of the TIPM or the TIPM housing is faulty or damaged, the entire TIPM and engine compartment wire harness unit must be replaced.
NOTE: If the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) is being replaced with a new unit, be certain to transfer each of the fuses and relays from the old TIPM to the proper cavities of the new TIPM. Refer to Wiring Diagrams for the proper TIPM cavity assignments.
The sensor looks like an air temperature sensor which plugs into the air box or air intake tube (look under for a hole).
Check out the diagrams (below). Please let us know what happens.
