Code 25, Mat Sensor Temp. High (2.5L & 4.3L Turbo): Notes

The ECM applies and monitors a voltage signal (4-6 volts) to MAT sensor. When manifold air is cold, the sensor resistance is high and ECM sees a high signal voltage. As air warms, resistance decreases and voltage sensed by the ECM drops. Sensor resistance can be measured at sensor terminals with harness disconnected.

NOTE: Test numbers refer to test numbers on diagnostic chart.
  1. This checks if the code is a hard failure or an intermittent condition. Code 25 will set if a VSS signal is present (2.5L) and monitored MAT sensor temperature is greater than 302°F (150°C) for 2.5L or 275°F (135°C) for 4.3L Turbo.
