Temperature Sensor Circuit
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 1984 Volvo 245, 1984 Volvo 244, 1984 Volvo 242, 1983 Volvo 245, and 1983 Volvo 244. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Turn ignition off. Connect an ohmmeter between terminal 2 and ground. Resistances for various temperatures will be as follows: 290-364 ohms at 175°F (80°C), 2280-2720 at 70°F (20°C), and 8260-10,560 ohms at 15°F (-10°C).
- If resistance is considerably higher than specified, an open circuit is indicated. If resistance is at or near 0 ohms a short circuit is indicated.
