Component description for the charge air temperature sensor - GF07.04-P-6050P
ENGINE 642 in MODEL 164.8, 203.0 /2, 209.3 /4, 211.0 /2 /6, 219.3, 221.0 /1, 251.0 /1
ENGINE 642 in MODEL 463
Location
The charge air temperature sensor is located in the plastic housing in front of the throttle valve actuator (M16/6).
Task
The charge air temperature sensor detects the charge air temperature and sends the signal to the CDI control unit (N3/9).
Design
The charge air temperature sensor possesses an integral measuring resistor with a negative temperature coefficient (NTC).
Function
The NTC measuring resistor alters its electrical resistance in line with the charge air temperature. Electrical resistance decreases as temperature increases.
