METHOD OF DIAGNOSING A TEMPERATURE SENSOR PROVIDED AT A REAR STAGE OF AN AIR FILTER

A method of diagnosing a temperature sensor provided at a rear stage of an air filter includes: comparing a heating condition factor with a factor threshold; when the heating condition factor is less than the factor threshold, calculating a deviation between a temperature of an intake manifold and a temperature of intake air at a rear stage of an air filter; comparing a temperature threshold with the deviation; and, when the deviation exceeds the temperature threshold, diagnosing the intake air temperature sensor provided at the rear stage of the air filter as failing. According to the method, failure of a temperature sensor provided at a rear state of an air filter of an engine room can be diagnosed.
