Diagnostic Aids

The "Scan" tester reads temperature of the air entering the engine. Temperature should read close to ambient air temperature when engine is cold and should rise as underhood temperature increases. Carefully check harness and connections for possible open in sensor circuits. Use the TEMPERATURE-TO-RESISTANCE VALUES table to help determine if sensor calibration has shifted.
