Test 14: Air Temperature Sensor

  1. Check electrical connections on sensor. Use Bosch L-Jetronic TEST No. 4 to check air temperature sensor values. If values are incorrect, remove connector from sensor and attach volt/ohmmeter. Check resistance between terminals No. 22 and 6 and compare with table. See AIR TEMPERATURE SENSOR RESISTANCE SPECIFICATIONS  .
  2. If resistance values are correct, trace sensor circuit and repair wiring. If values are incorrect, replace airflow sensor.
