In-Car Temperature Sensor
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1999 Acura 3.0CL and 1999 Acura 2.3CL. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:
To avoid damage to sensor, use an ohmmeter with a measuring current of one milliamp or less.
Remove instrument panel lower cover. Remove sensor from instrument panel. Measure resistance across sensor connector terminals at specified temperatures. See IN-CAR TEMPERATURE SENSOR RESISTANCE table. If resistance is not as specified, replace sensor.
