- Generic OBD-II code · Powertrain
- Turns on the check-engine light
- Matters for the ITP
- Needs a drive cycle to confirm a fix
- How the car detects it
- Intake air temperature sensor 1 for bank 2 measures the intake air temperature in the second intake path, typically near the air filter or in the air flow meter of that bank, on engines with two separate intake paths. For P00AE, the signal jumps faster than a real temperature can change, which typically points to a loose contact. No manufacturer description naming this exact code was found. Bank 2 codes occur only on engines with two separate intake or charge-air paths, one per cylinder bank.
