Intake Air Temperature Sensor Operation
This sensor is mounted to modulator located the in air cleaner, as a component part of airflow sensor. The sensor measures temperature of incoming air, supplying air density information to the ECU. The ECU uses air temperature sensor information for controlling fuel delivery. On Conquest and Starion intercooled models, an intake air temperature sensor "B" has been installed to air intake pipe to obtain optimum air-fuel mixture according to intake air temperatures when engine is operating under high load.
