Electrical system

AIR TEMPERATURE SENSOR

To check the working state of the air temperature
sensor, proceed as follows:
• Disconnect the two-way connector (1).
• Check the sensor in an environment with a con-
trolled temperature of 68 °F (20 °C).
• Use an ohmmeter (scale 0-20 kΩ) to measure
electrical resistance between the terminals of the
connector (1).
Correct value: 12.200 kΩ Ω Ω Ω Ω - 12.700 kΩ Ω Ω Ω Ω
If the air temperature sensor is operating correctly,
check the dashboard:
• Apply a resistance of 12.4 kΩ between the sensor
terminals (cabling side).
• If the dashboard is operating correctly, it should
show a temperature of 68 ± 3 °F (20 ± 1 °C).
