Ambient Sensor

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Nissan Maxima. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

After disconnecting ambient sensor connector (1), measure resistance between terminals 2 and 1 at sensor harness side, using AMBIENT SENSOR TEMPERATURE/RESISTANCE CHART .
