What is CID 1080 & How to Solve It?

What is CID 1080: 

CID 1080 refers to a fault with the intake manifold temperature sensor circuit. Improper readings can result in incorrect fuel injection and poor engine performance.

‍

Why This Happens:

• Faulty intake manifold temperature sensor.
  
• Shorted or damaged wiring in the sensor circuit.
  
• Corroded connectors.
  
• Contamination of the sensor.
  
• ECM misreading sensor data.
  
  

How to Fix It:

1. Inspect the intake manifold temperature sensor for damage or contamination.
   
2. Test the sensor’s resistance and voltage.
   
3. Clean or replace corroded connectors.
   
4. Replace the sensor if readings are unstable.
   
5. Verify proper system operation after repairs.
   
   

How to Avoid It Before It Happens:

• Clean intake manifold components regularly.
  
• Inspect wiring and sensors during maintenance.
  
• Monitor sensor data during diagnostics.
  
• Clue’s equipment maintenance services help monitor intake systems to ensure proper air-fuel mixture.
