In-Car Temperature Sensor
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1998 Acura 2.5TL. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:
To avoid damage to sensor, use an ohmmeter with a measuring current of one milliamp or less.
Remove climate control unit. Remove sensor from dashboard. Measure resistance across sensor connector terminals at specified temperatures. If resistance is not as specified, replace sensor. See IN-CAR TEMPERATURE SENSOR RESISTANCE table.
