Component Inspection

  1. Measure resistance between terminals 1 and 2 of OTS connector. (Component side)

    Specification: 

    TEMPERATURE AND RESISTANCE CHART

    Temp. (°C) Temp. (°F) OTS Resistance (kΩ) Temp. (°C) Temp. (°F) OTS Resistance (kΩ)
    -20 -4 Approx. 14.1~16.9 40 104 Approx. 1.1~1.2
    0 32 Approx. 6 60 140 Approx. 0.5~0.6
    20 68 Approx. 2.3~2.6 80 176 Approx. 0.3
  2. Is resistance within the specification?

    YES 

    • Check for poor connection between PCM and component: backed out terminal, improper mating, broken locks or poor terminal to wire connection. Repair as necessary and go to "VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE REPAIR " procedure.

    NO 

    • Check OTS for contamination, deterioration, or damage. Substitute with a known-good OTS and check for proper operation. If the problem is corrected, replace OTS and then go to "VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE REPAIR " procedure.
