P0098
Intake Air Temperature Sensor 2 Circuit High Bank 1
IAT sensor 2 bank 1 signal voltage above expected range — open circuit or short to power. The intake air temperature sensor feeds the ECM's density calculation — a drifted reading miscalculates fuel mass and pushes mixture lean (cold reading) or rich (hot reading).
- Check engine light: Yes
