      Standard resistance 

      STANDARD RESISTANCE

      Temperature Specified Condition
      Cold 985 to 1,600 Ω
      Hot 1,265 to 1,890 Ω
      NOTE: "Cold" and "Hot" mean the temperature of the coils themselves. "Cold" is from -10 to 50°C (14 to 122°F) and "Hot" is from 50 to 100°C (122 to 212°F).

      If the resistance is not as specified, replace the sensor.
