Factory service manual
From the 2008 KK factory manual — descriptions, specs, torque & procedures for this part.
INTAKE MANIFOLD AIR TEMPERATURE (IAT) SENSOR - ECM INPUT📷 1
The combination, dual function Intake Manifold Air Temperature Sensor/MAP Sensor is installed into the top of the intake manifold with the sensor element extending into the air stream.
The IAT portion of the sensor provides an input voltage to the Engine Control Module (ECM) indicating intake manifold air temperature. The MAP portion of the sensor provides an input voltage to the ECM indicating turbocharger boost pressure.

INTAKE MANIFOLD AIR TEMPERATURE (IAT) SENSOR📷 1
The combination, dual function Intake Manifold Air Temperature Sensor/MAP (IAT/MAP) sensor (1) is installed into the top of the intake manifold near the fuel rail.
  1.   Clean area around sensor.
  2.   Disconnect electrical connector from IAT/MAP sensor.
  3.   Remove mounting screw.
  4.   Remove sensor from intake manifold by twisting.
  5.   Check condition of sensor O-ring.
