2. Measure the resistance of the sensor.

   Standard resistance 

   RESISTANCE SPECIFICATION
   
   

   Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
   1 - 2	10°C (50°F)	3.00 to 3.73 kΩ
   1 - 2	15°C (50°F)	2.45 to 2.88 kΩ
   1 - 2	20°C (68°F)	1.95 to 2.30 kΩ
   1 - 2	25°C (77°F)	1.60 to 1.80 kΩ
   1 - 2	30°C (86°F)	1.28 to 1.47 kΩ
   1 - 2	35°C (95°F)	1.00 to 1.22 kΩ
   1 - 2	40°C (104°F)	0.80 to 1,00 kΩ
   1 - 2	45°C (113°F)	0.65 to 0.85 kΩ
   1 - 2	50°C (122°F)	0.50 to 0.70 kΩ
   1 - 2	55°C (131°F)	0.44 to 0.60 kΩ
   1 - 2	60°C (140°F)	0.36 to 0.50 kΩ

   NOTE:

   • Touching the sensor even slightly may change the resistance value. Be sure to hold the connector of the sensor.
   • When measuring, the sensor temperature must be the same as the ambient temperature.

   HINT:

   As the temperature increases, the resistance decreases (see the graph ).

NG: REPLACE AMBIENT TEMPERATURE SENSOR 

OK: Go to next step 

1. Disconnect the A17 sensor connector.
2. Disconnect the E19 meter connector.

3. Measure the resistance of the wire harness side connectors.

   Standard resistance 

   RESISTANCE SPECIFICATION
   
   

   Tester Connection	Specified Condition
   A17-2 (OT+) - E19-23 (TEMP)	Below 1 Ω
   A17-1 (OT-) - E19-11 (TX1+)	Below 1 Ω
   A17-2 (OT+) - Body ground	1 MΩ or higher
   A17-1 (OT-) - Body ground	1 MΩ or higher

NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS AND CONNECTOR 

OK: REPLACE COMBINATION METER
