ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION
PROCEDURE
1. INSPECT THERMISTOR ASSEMBLY
| (a) Disconnect the thermistor assembly connector. |
|
(b) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance:
| Tester Connection | Condition | Specified Condition |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - 2 | 10°C (50°F) | 3.00 to 3.73 kΩ |
| 1 - 2 | 15°C (59°F) | 2.45 to 2.88 kΩ |
| 1 - 2 | 20°C (68°F) | 1.95 to 2.30 kΩ |
| 1 - 2 | 25°C (77°F) | 1.60 to 1.80 kΩ |
| 1 - 2 | 30°C (86°F) | 1.28 to 1.47 kΩ |
| 1 - 2 | 35°C (95°F) | 1.00 to 1.22 kΩ |
| 1 - 2 | 40°C (104°F) | 0.80 to 1.00 kΩ |
| 1 - 2 | 45°C (113°F) | 0.65 to 0.85 kΩ |
| 1 - 2 | 50°C (122°F) | 0.50 to 0.70 kΩ |
| 1 - 2 | 55°C (131°F) | 0.44 to 0.60 kΩ |
| 1 - 2 | 60°C (140°F) | 0.36 to 0.50 kΩ |
NOTICE:
- Hold the sensor only by its connector. Touching the sensor may change the resistance value.
- When measuring, the sensor temperature must be the same as the ambient temperature.
HINT:
As the temperature increases, the resistance decreases (see the graph).
If the resistance is not as specified, replace the thermistor assembly.
