Hello, this code is P0113 (Intake Air Temperature Sensor Circuit High - Bank 1), so it does not indicate a MAF problem. This vehicle has an Air Charge Temperature Sensor that receives this signal. This code requires some electrical diagnosing, but I can walk you through it if you have access to a multimeter.

Please see our guide on how to use a multimeter below:
https://www.2carpros.com/articles/how-to-use-a-voltmeter

I will attach the guide for diagnosing this code also as pictures.
(See pic 01, 02 & 03)

Below I will include the procedure to replace the sensor, it is fairly straight forward.

(See pic 04)

1. Turn the ignition OFF.
2. Disconnect the IAT sensor harness connector.
3. Remove the IAT sensor by pulling it out of the air cleaner housing.

Hope this helps,

William

Hello,

Did you clear the code after the repair? I attached the diagnostic procedure, in the previous post, it will require a scan tool that can read live data and a multimeter. Even if you can't see live data but have a scan tool, clear the code. If it comes back immediately then we have a likely electrical issue.

Let us know,
William

Is there another way to clear the code if I don't have a scan tool? I do have a multimeter that I need to learn how to use, lol.

You can disconnect the battery for 5 minutes. Otherwise, if it's a permanent code it may require a good scan tool to clear. Please see our guide above on how to use a voltmeter. It can really come in handy!

Thanks,
William

Yes, in principle they are the same, a multimeter can do much more than just measure voltage.

Let us know how it goes,

Just let us know, we are here to help. The sensor should be receiving 4.9-volts, anything higher results in this code. I would check voltage with it plugged in and unplugged. However, a scan tool will really help you the most here.

You can get them relatively cheap on Amazon like this one here: https://a.co/d/dceDgPf

If I can help just let me know,
William

The scanner finally arrived and there were no error codes but my car still has a dash warning and appears to be running hot.

Hello, if I am not mistaken that is the low coolant light. According to your picture the engine temperature is actually good. Can you confirm there is enough coolant in the radiator or expansion tank?

Thanks,
William

I would use the scan tool and look at the live data. Hopefully it detects the coolant level and gives you a %. This will tell us if the level sensor is working correctly or not. If you ordered the scan tool mentioned in this thread, I know it has a live data option, but I do not know how deep it will go. Please let us know.
