Intake Air Temperature Sensor 1 Circuit Bank 2
Generic electrical fault on intake air temperature sensor 1 (typically pre-intercooler) on bank 2. 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).
