Grand Cherokee 2WD V8-318 5.2L VIN Y MFI (1994)
Charge Temperature Sensor: Testing and Inspection
NOTE:
To perform a complete test of Intake Air Temperature sensor and its circuitry, refer to appropriate Diagnostic Chart. To test the sensor only, refer
to the following:
Charge Air Temperature Sensor And Connector
1.
Disconnect the wire harness connector from the sensor.
2.
Test the resistance of the sensor with an input impedance (digital) volt-ohmmeter. The resistance (as measured across the sensor terminals) should
be less than 1340 ohms with the engine warm. Refer to the Coolant Temperature sensor/Charge Air Temperature sensor resistance chart. Replace
the sensor if it is not within the range of resistance specified in the chart.
3.
Test the resistance of the wire harness. Do this between the Powertrain Control Module wire harness connector terminal 21, and the sensor
connector terminal. Also check between terminal 4 to the sensor connector terminal. Repair the wire harness as necessary if the resistance is
greater than 1 ohm.
