P00EE: Intake Air Temperature Sensor 3 Circuit Range/Performance Bank 2

What does P00EE mean?

Intake air temperature sensor 3 is a third air temperature sensor in the intake path. On documented turbocharged engines with a humidity sensor it is the manifold temperature sensor behind the charge air cooler, an NTC thermistor read directly by the engine control module and used for cylinder filling and ignition timing. The numbering of intake air temperature sensors differs between manufacturers. P00EE: This is a plausibility check once per ignition cycle after a long standstill (eight hours in a documented case): if the other intake temperature sensors agree and this sensor deviates, or no two agree and this one deviates most, the code is set. No manufacturer description naming this exact code was found; bank 2 codes are intended for engines with two separate intake paths.

The code tells you which monitor failed, not which part is broken. Test before replacing parts.

Symptoms

• Check engine light on
• Usually no noticeable symptoms; substitute value used
• Slightly reduced power through knock protection possible

Common causes

• High Sensor drifting or stuck
• Medium Contact resistance at the connector
• Medium A reference sensor reading wrong
• Low Sensor mounted wrongly or exposed to external heat

Likelihood is a general estimate across vehicles; your make and model may differ.
