What does code P1192 mean?

Q: What does code P1192 mean?

Inlet Air Temp Circuit Low. P1192 on Chrysler vehicles means the powertrain control module (PCM) has detected a low voltage signal from the inlet air temperature (IAT) sensor circuit, indicating the sensor is reading a higher-than-expected temperature or the circuit is shorted to ground. The PCM expects the IAT signal voltage to fall within a calibrated range as intake air warms, and a sustained low voltage tells the computer the sensor or its wiring is faulty.
