Component Test




Compare the resistance reading between the No.1 and No. 2 terminals of the outside air temperature sensor with the specifications shown in graph; resistance should be within specifications.

NOTE: Dip the sensor in ice water, and measure resistance. Then pour hot water on the sensor, and check for change in resistance.

CAUTION: The sensor uses a thermistor which can be damaged if high current is applied during testing. Therefore, use a circuit tester with an output of 1 mA or less at the 20 kohms range.
