Chevy Silverado Cold Air Intake IAT temp sensor location

Unread post by Guest » Thu Dec 10, 2009 8:09 pm

I am installing a cold air intake system and performance chip on my 2006 Chevrolet Silverado.
It is either the 5.3L V8, or the 6.0L.
I need to know where the iantake temperature sensor IAT is located.
I cannot find it under the hood.
Also need to know which 2 wires are for the IAT and what color they are so i can install this performance chip and intake system.

The Intake air temp sensor is internal to the Mass Airflow Sensor (MAF).

It cannot be accessed seperatelty.

The wires for it are...

Sensor signal- TAN, terminal B

Low reference- Black, terminal A

Don't bother with the "performance chip". It's not really a chip at all, it's just a resistor that is placed across the IAT to fool the engine into thinking the air temperature is colder than it is. Best possible scenario is that it will just make your fuel mileage worse. You've just wasted your money.

I agree about the performance chip. What a waste of money. It is amazing how much people will spend on something because a company puts out some fancy number charts.
