Air Temperature Sensor

The air temperature sensor provides the control unit with voltage signals. The temperature of incoming air is converted to electrical impulses which are used by the ECU to adjust engine fuel requirements. The higher the intake air temperature, the lower the electrical impulse; less fuel is required at higher temperatures because of the vaporization ability of warm air. The air temperature sensor is integral with the air flow meter and cannot be serviced or repaired.
