Resistance Inspection

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Mazda 6. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Disconnect the CHT sensor connector.
  2. Measure the resistance between the CHT sensor terminals.
    • If it is not within the specification, replace the CHT sensor.

      Measure the cylinder head temperature sensor resistance (approx..
