P1111 BUICK Meaning

The Intake Air Temperature (IAT) sensor contains a semiconductor device that changes resistance based on temperature (a thermistor). The IAT sensor is mounted in the air intake passage of the engine’s air intake system. The IAT sensor has a signal circuit and a ground circuit. The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) applies a voltage (approximately 5.0 volts) to the sensor’s signal circuit. The PCM monitors changes in this voltage caused by changes in the sensor’s resistance to determine the intake air temperature.

When the intake air is cold, the sensor resistance (thermistor) is high and the PCM signal voltage is only slightly lowered across the sensor to ground. The PCM detects a high signal voltage (low temperature). When the intake air is hot, the sensor resistance is low and the signal voltage is lowered further. This causes the PCM to detect a low signal voltage (high temperature).

P1111 INFINITI Possible Causes

• Faulty intake valve timing control solenoid valve, bank 1
• Bank 1 intake valve timing control solenoid harness is open or shorted
• Poor electrical connection in bank 1 intake valve timing control solenoid circuit

How to Fix P1111 INFINITI Code?

Start by checking the “possible causes” listed above. Visually inspect the corresponding wiring harness and connectors. Check for damaged components and look for broken, bent, pushed out, or corroded connector pins.

What Does It Mean?

Since the intake valve timing control solenoid uses oil flow to control timing, dirty oil can cause the valve to stick open or closed. Before replacing the valve, change the engine oil and filter and reset the engine code. If the code returns, you can remove the intake valve timing control solenoid and clean it with brake cleaner.

Possible Symptoms

Engine light on (or service engine soon warning light)
Possible engine power loss
Possible rough engine idle

P1111 INFINITI Meaning

The intake valve timing control solenoid is activated by pulse on/off signals (duty ratio) from the engine control module (ECM). The intake valve timing control solenoid changes the amount of oil and direction of flow through the intake valve timing control unit or stops oil flow.

Longer pulse width advances the valve angle. Shorter pulse width retards the valve angle.
When ON and OFF pulse widths become equal, the solenoid stops oil pressure flow to lock the intake valve angle at the control position.

Diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is set when incorrect voltage is sent to ECM through the intake valve timing control solenoid.

🔬 IAT Sensor Operation

Air Temperature	Thermistor Resistance	Voltage Measured by PCM
Cold Air	High	High Voltage
Hot Air	Low	Low Voltage

The PCM interprets these voltage variations to determine the actual temperature of the air entering the engine.
