Engine Controls - Sensor Operating Range Charts: Introduction

NOTE: For information on Santa Fe with 3.5L, refer to FUEL SYSTEM (3.5L) article.

Sensor operating range information can help determine if a sensor is out of calibration. An out-of-calibration sensor may not set a trouble code, but it may cause driveability problems.

NOTE: See SYSTEM & COMPONENT TESTING article or appropriate SELF-DIAGNOSTICS article for sensor testing procedures. Unless stated otherwise in test procedure, perform all tests using a Digital Volt-Ohmmeter (DVOM) with a minimum 10-megohm input impedance.
