Legend Sedan V6-3206cc 3.2L SOHC FI (1995)
Ambient Temperature Sensor / Switch HVAC: Testing and Inspection
Component Test
Compare the resistance reading between terminals of the outside air temperature sensor with specifications shown in the graph: It should be within
specifications.
Resistance at 68°F (20°C): approx. 2 K Ohms
NOTE: Dip the sensor in ice water and measure the resistance. Then pour hot water on the sensor and check for change in resistance.
CAUTION: The sensor uses a thermistor which can be damaged if high current is applied to it during testing. Therefore, use a circuit tester that
puts out a measuring current of 1 mA or less. (At 20 K Ohm range)
