How to Fix P0113

What Does P0113 Mean?

The P0113 diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is an OBD-II code stored by your vehicle's Engine Control Unit (ECU) when it detects intake air temperature (iat) sensor high input. This code is part of the Fuel and Air Metering system. When your check engine light comes on and a scan tool reads P0113, it means your vehicle needs attention in this area.

OBD-II codes starting with P0 are generic powertrain codes defined by the SAE standard, meaning P0113 has the same basic definition regardless of vehicle make or model. However, the specific causes and repair procedures can vary between manufacturers.

Can I Drive With Code P0113?

Code P0113 is typically not an urgent issue and you can usually continue driving normally in the short term. However, you should still have it diagnosed and repaired to pass emissions testing and prevent potential complications down the line.
