In-car Temperature Sensor Test

  1. Remove the in-car temperature sensor (see IN-CAR TEMPERATURE SENSOR REPLACEMENT  ).
  2. Check for a change in resistance by heating or cooling the sensor with a hair drier.
  3. Compare the resistance reading between the No. 1 and No. 2 terminals of the in-car temperature sensor with the specifications shown in the graph; the resistance should be within the specifications.
