Code 25, Manifold Air Temperature (Mat) Sensor (Temperature Too High)

The MAT sensor uses a thermistor type resistor to control signal voltage to the ECM. A 4-6 volt reference signal is supplied to the sensor on circuit on circuit No. 472. When manifold air temperature is cold, sensor resistance is high and the ECM will see a high signal voltage. As the manifold air temperature rises, senor resistance becomes less and voltage drops.
