WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Oldsmobile Intrigue. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Turn ignition off. Disconnect ambient air temperature sensor 2-pin connector. Measure resistance between sensor terminals. See AMBIENT AIR TEMPERATURE SENSOR RESISTANCE SPECIFICATIONS table. If resistance is not within specification, replace ambient temperature sensor.
