Possible Causes:

- Open return circuit in the harness, connectors, or sensor.

- Open signal circuit or short circuit to a voltage source.

- Failed sensor.

Effects:

- Engine power derate.

Troubleshooting Steps:

1. Check for multiple fault codes before troubleshooting Fault Code 691.

2. Inspect the turbocharger compressor inlet air temperature sensor and connector pins for any damage or dirt.

3. Check the sensor resistance and verify its condition.

4. Inspect the ECM (Engine Control Module) and engine harness connector pins.
