Location
The charge air temperature sensor sits in the plastic housing in front of the throttle valve actuator (M16/6).
Task
The charge air temperature sensor detects the charge air temperature and sends the signal to the CDI control unit (N3/9).
Design
The charge air temperature sensor possesses an integral measuring resistor with a negative temperature coefficient (NTC).
Function
The electrical resistance of the NTC measuring resistor varies according to charge air temperature. Electrical resistance decreases as temperature increases.
