- Test the ambient air temperature sensor by varying the sensor temperature while monitoring the sensor resistance.
- Compare the readings with the Temperature VS Resistance table and verify that the resistance is within 5 percent of the specification.
- If not within the specified range, replace the sensor.
IMPORTANT:
Sensor Resistance Table for this test. A thermometer can be used to test the sensor off the vehicle in warm and or cold water.
