•
Check the sensor connector and the ENGINE connector of the Marelli control unit.
NOTES
No error is detected if the sensor does not work correctly or the control unit connector or sensor terminals
are rusty: then use the diagnostics instrument to check if the temperature indicated is the same as the
engine temperature. Check also that the sensor electrical characteristics are observed: replace the
sensor if not OK; if it is OK, check the sensor connector and the Marelli control unit connector.
Air temperature sensor
Function
it tells the control unit the intake air temperature in
order to calculate oxygen presence so as to opti-
mise the petrol quantity necessary for correct com-
bustion
Operation / Operating principle
NTC type sensor (resistance sensor, inversely
variable with temperature)
Level in wiring diagram:
Temperature sensors
Location:
•
sensor: on filter box left side, next to
rear throttle body
•
connector: on the sensor
Electrical characteristics:Resistance
•
at 0 °C (32 °F): 32.5 kΩ ± 5%
