The intake air temperature (IAT) sensor on your Freelander detects the temperature of the incoming air stream. It provides a signal that enables the ECM to adjust ignition timing and fuelling quantity according to this temperature, to give optimum performance, drivability and emissions.

If your IAT sensor fails your Freelander will continue to run. The ECM will substitute a default value to run the engine, but adaptive fuelling will be disabled.
