Intake Air Temperature Sensor

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Nissan Xterra. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Check resistance between mass air flow sensor (1) terminals 5 and 6 under the following conditions.

INTAKE AIR TEMPERATURE RESISTANCE REFERENCE

Intake air temperature °C (°F)	Resistance kΩ
25 (77)	1.800 - 2.200

If NG, replace mass air flow sensor (with intake air temperature sensor).
