INSPECTION

INSPECT AMBIENT TEMPERATURE SENSOR







Measure the resistance of the sensor.

NOTE:
- Touching the sensor even slightly may change the resistance value. Hold the connector of the sensor.
- When measuring the resistance, the sensor temperature must be the same as the ambient temperature.

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

If the result is not as specified, replace the ambient temperature sensor.
