Yes. For an Evap LWT Sensor Fault, the resistance must be checked. The fault triggers if the resistance is less than 340 ohms or greater than 300 kΩ, or if the reliability value is anything other than "NoFault." This implies checking the sensor resistance, typically with the wire unplugged.

Questions and answers
Evap LWT fault Do I need to check the resistance at the thermistor/ sensor? With the wire unplugged?
Fault code
Yes. For an Evap LWT Sensor Fault, the resistance must be checked. The fault triggers if the resistance is less than 340 ohms or greater than 300 kΩ, or if the reliability value is anything other than "NoFault." This implies checking the sensor resistance, typically with the wire unplugged.
