This is the place to ask questions about your engine components like cams, valves, pistons… just anything that is generally "engine" specific. This also includes questions about exhaust systems such as exhaust manifolds, piping size, mufflers, ect...

help witha p0112 engine code? air sensor...

Post by Pablodragon » Mon Jul 23, 2007 6:01 pm

Have had a short ram intake on my 2004 SE since like Spring... it does have the nice little rubber-grommeted hole for the air sensor

never had any troubles or codes till today... popped up with the engine light on the way to work... shows a p0112... low voltage on air sensor (?)

looks fine, ...do I replace it?... why is there low and high voltage warnings for this little thingy?..

Is this inherant to aftermarket intakes?

I read the same post by you on dodgeforum.com and I noticed that the answer seems to be just change it and that should help!!! Does anyone have any other ideas??

my first question would be is the sensor in all the way? Also, did you disconnect the battery to reset the code after it was triggered? A friend of mine had a short ram intake and he never did install the temp sensor into the gromet. he simply left it hanging inside of the wheel well.

Generally most people tell you to replace it due to the fact that feedback irregularities usually occur inside of the sensor. These are generally caused by something faulty inside of the sensor and is not fixable. Sounds to me like yours may simply be going bad.

well after 2 days, pulling it out looking at it, making sure it was clean... the trouble light just went away... so still just a mystery.

the real question was, since I had pulled up the engine code list... why there are like 4 different codes just for this one little sensor? there's like air velocity error, high voltage, low voltage...
seems only to have 2 wires going to it and it un-plugs from the harness...why not just one code that says "replace" ?
