Kia Sorento Intake Manifold Temperature Sensor is constantly checking the air's warmth so that the engine computer can balance fuel and oxygen for smooth power. Working in conjunction with the air flow signal, the Intake Manifold Temperature Sensor provides the Powertrain Control Module with fast temperature information, allowing the PCM to adjust the injector pulse width to prevent the air fuel mixture from becoming too rich or too lean. When this Intake Manifold Temperature Sensor gets dirty or damaged, the computer may miscalculate the mixture causing hesitation during acceleration, possible stalling, and illumination of the check engine light if a diagnostic code is stored. All Kia Sorento model years share this fundamental thermistor-based design but earlier Sorento versions mounted the Intake Manifold Temperature Sensor closer to the throttle body while later Sorento editions place the unit deeper in the manifold for quicker reaction to heat change, the main difference being placement rather than operating principle, and modern Sorento engines benefit from the revised location. Regardless of generation, Kia drivers should know that any air leak between the Intake Manifold Temperature Sensor and cylinders can upset readings because unmeasured air slips past, confusing the PCM in their Kia.
