Where is the intake air sensor on a 2003 dodge caravan?

The exact location of the intake air temperature (IAT) sensor on a 2003 Dodge Caravan depends slightly on the engine (3.3L, 3.8L, etc.). However, it's almost always located within the intake air duct itself, somewhere between the air filter housing and the throttle body.

It's usually a small, easily overlooked sensor, often with a single wire connected to it. You'll likely find it by:

1. Locating the air filter housing: Open the hood and find the large rectangular box containing the air filter.

2. Tracing the intake duct: Follow the ductwork leading from the air filter box towards the engine. The IAT sensor is usually mounted somewhere along this duct.

3. Inspecting the duct closely: Look for a small sensor with a single wire connector. It might be clipped to the duct or integrated into a fitting.

It's best to consult a repair manual specific to your 2003 Dodge Caravan's engine type for a diagram and precise location. A Haynes or Chilton manual would be a great help. You can also search online for diagrams specific to your engine using your vehicle's VIN or engine code.

Important Note: Don't confuse the IAT sensor with the Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor. The MAF sensor is typically located in the intake tube closer to the air filter.
