What air sensor? Mass Air Flow? Air Temp sensor? Gotta be more specific.

Sorry. When I saw "ait" I thought you mis-typed "air". You should capitalize "IAT" or type out "Intake Air Temp" to be more clear.

The IAT is part of the MAF (Mass Air Flow) sensor:

Quote:

Intake Air Temperature Sensor (IATS) is installed inside the Mass Air Flow Sensor (MAFS) and detects the intake air temperature. To calculate precise air quantity, correction of the air temperature is needed because air density varies according to the temperature. So the PCM uses not only MAFS signal but also IATS signal. This sensor has a Negative Temperature Coefficient (NTC) and its resistance is in inverse proportion to the temperature.
