Intake Air Temperature Sensor Check

INTAKE AIR TEMPERATURE SENSOR CHECK




1. Disconnect the mass airflow sensor connector.
2. Measure resistance between terminal No. 1 and No. 4.

Standard value:
13 - 17 Kohms [at -20 °C (-4 °F)]
5.3 - 6.7 Kohms [at 0 °C (32 °F)]
2.3 - 3.0 Kohms [at 20 °C (68 °F)]
1.0 - 1.5 Kohms [at 40 °C (104 °F)]
0.56 - 0.76 Kohms [at 60 °C (140 °F)]
0.30 - 0.45 Kohms [at 80 °C (176 °F)]




3. If not within specifications, replace the mass airflow sensor.




4. Measure resistance while heating the sensor using a hair dryer.
5. If resistance does not decrease as heat increases, replace the mass airflow sensor.
