Default Check engine light fixes.

So I did the on off trick and got these codes. Any idea how to fix it so I can get that damn light off my dashboard?

23** Intake air temp sensor voltage too high or low Intake air manifold temperature sensor is out of range. Check sensor.
33* AC clutch relay circuit Short or open in the AC clutch circuit.

Check the sensors and replace if needed.

Inspect the IAT sensor and connector. Probably just have to get a new one.
Get a wiring diagram for the ac circuit, Hanes might have it in their manual or download the FSM from the FAQs section, and trace the connections; look for bad wires, test relays and fuses, and pin down the short/open.

Then clear the codes and hope its fixed

Don't forget to do so (pull/replace) with the neg bat cable off. And that will reset the CEL too...

All the auto places around here do not have a new one in stock (IAT) so I will pull the old one off and clean it up good see if that fixes it. IF not then order one I guess.

I don't think cleaning will do jack. Order a new one. And as stated, remove the neg. battery cable first.

voltage too high indicates that its shorted out, outputting a 5 volt or 12 volt signal.
replace.

reset pcm by removing battery cable and turning on headlights for 30 seconds to drain the capacitors. removing cable only for 5 minutes is not enough to reset it.
