    1. Dip the sensor in ice water, and measure the resistance between terminals No. 1 and No. 2.

    2. Then pour warm water on the sensor, and check for a change in resistance.

    3. Compare the resistance readings with the specifications shown in the graph; the resistance should be within the specifications.

    4. If the resistance is not as specified, replace the outside air temperature sensor.
