PROCEDURE
INSPECT THERMISTOR ASSEMBLY
Disconnect the connector from the thermistor assembly.
Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
| Standard Resistance | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
| *a | Component without harness connected (Thermistor Assembly) |
| *b | Sensing Portion |
| *c | Resistance (kΩ) |
| *d | Temperature °C (°F) |
| *e | Allowable Range |
Note
Hold the thermistor assembly only by its connector. Touching the thermistor assembly may change the resistance value.
When measuring, the thermistor assembly must be the same as the ambient temperature.
Tech Tips
As the temperature increases, the resistance decreases (see the graph).
If the resistance is not as specified, replace the thermistor assembly.
