In-car Temperature Sensor Test

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Acura TL and 2007 Acura TL. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Remove the in-car temperature sensor (see IN-CAR TEMPERATURE SENSOR REPLACEMENT  ).
  2. Check for a change in resistance by heating the sensor with a hair drier or cooling the sensor in a cool cup of water.
  3. Compare the resistance reading between the No. 1 and No. 2 terminals of the in-car temperature sensor with the specifications shown in the graph; the resistance should be within the specifications.
