■ Inspection Ambient Air Temperature Sensor 

  1. IG Key "OFF".
  2. Disconnect AATS connector.
  3. Measure resistance between signal and GND terminal of the AATS. (Component Side)

    Specification: 

    Temperature Resistance(kΩ) Temperature Resistance(kΩ)
    -20 °C(-4 °F) 18.76~21.37 40 °C(104 °F) 1.504~1.616
    0 °C(32 °F) 7.26~7.954 60 °C(140 °F) 0.757~0.835
    20 °C(68 °F) 3.183~3.372 80 °C(176 °F) 0.425~0.452
    25 °C(77 °F) 2.633~2.768 100 °C(212 °F) 0.220~0.255

■ Confirm Part Inspection 

  1. Does the AATS work properly? (Check variation)

    YES 

    NO 

    • Substitute with a known-good AATS and check for proper operation. If the problem is corrected, replace AATS and then go to "Verification Of Vehicle Repair " procedure.
