Pinpoint Test Fa: Ambient Air Temperature (AAT) Sensor: Introduction
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 31 other vehicles, including the 2018 Lincoln Navigator, 2018 Lincoln MKZ, 2018 Lincoln MKX, 2018 Lincoln MKT, and 2018 Lincoln MKC. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:
- AAT sensor
- harness circuits: AAT and SIGRTN
- PCM (12A650)
