Ambient Temperature Sensor Test
- Turn the ignition OFF.
- Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable (Fig. 3).
- Disconnect the ATS harness connector.
- Measure the resistance of the ATS using the following min/max values:
- 0° C (32° F)
Sensor Resistance = 29.33 - 35.99 Kilohms.
- 10° C (50° F)
Sensor Resistance = 17.99 - 21.81 Kilohms.
- 20° C (68° F)
Sensor Resistance = 11.37 - 13.61 Kilohms.
- 25° C (77° F)
Sensor Resistance = 9.12 - 10.86 Kilohms.
- 30° C (86° F)
Sensor Resistance = 7.37 - 8.75 Kilohms.
- 40° C (104° F)
Sensor Resistance = 4.90 - 5.75 Kilohms.
The sensor resistance should read between these min/max values. If the resistance values are not OK, replace the Sensor.
