Intake Air Temperature Sensor: Description and Operation
PURPOSE
The intake air temperature sensor (B17/7) measures incoming ambient air temperature. The information is used to calculate necessary adjustments
to the air/fuel ratio and ignition timing. Low ambient air temperatures will tend to enrichen air/fuel mixtures and high ambient temperatures will
tend to retard ignition timing.
SIGNAL
This signal is used by the LH control module and transmitted via the controller area network (CAN) to the EZL/AKR control module.
