U0612Lost Communication With Intake Air Temperature Sensor 1 Bank 2

The U0612 code indicates that the powertrain control module (PCM) has lost communication with the intake air temperature (IAT) sensor 1 on bank 2 of the engine. The PCM monitors the sensor's data circuit and sets this code when it fails to receive a valid signal for a calibrated period, often due to an open circuit, short, or faulty sensor.
