Sensor Resistance Test

  1. Remove left instrument panel undercover. Unplug in-vehicle temperature sensor. See Figure. Measure resistance between in-vehicle temperature sensor terminals while heating sensor. See IN-VEHICLE  TEMPERATURE SENSOR RESISTANCE SPECIFICATIONS table.
  2. If resistance is not as specified, replace sensor. If resistance is within specification, inspect wiring harness and connectors between sensor and A/C-heater control panel. Repair as necessary. If wiring harness and connectors are okay, temporarily substitute a known-good A/C-heater control panel, then retest system.
IN-VEHICLE TEMPERATURE SENSOR RESISTANCE SPECIFICATIONS

Sensor Temperature °F (°C) (1) Ohms

122 (50) 500-700
(1) As temperature increases, resistance should gradually decrease.
