Sensors
Throttle Sensor In spection
Refer to Throttle Sensor Section in the Fuel System chap-
ter.
Water Temperature Sensor Inspection
Remove the water temperature sensor (see Feul (DFI)
System chapter).
Suspend the sensor [A] in a container of water so that the
temperature-sensing projection is submerged.
Suspend an accurate thermometer [B] in the water.
NOTE
The sensor and thermometer must not touch the con-
tainer side or bottom.
Place the container over a source of heat and gradually
raise the temperature of the water while stirring the water
gently.
Using the hand tester, measure the internal resistance of
the sensor at the temperatures shown in the table.
If the hand tester does not show the specified values, re-
place the sensor.
Water Temperature Sensor Resistance
Water Tem perature
Sensor Resistance
20°C (68°F) approx. 293 k
50°C (122°F) approx. 78.5 k
90°C (194°F) approx. 18.1
k
100°C (212°F) approx. 13.2 k
Inlet Air Temperature Sensor Inspection
Refer to Inlet Air Temperature Sensor Section in the Fuel
System chapter.
Oil Temperature Sensor Inspection
Remove the oil temperature sensor (see Feul (DFI) Sys-
tem chapter).
Suspend the sensor [A] in a container of water so that the
temperature-sensing projection is submerged.
Suspend an accurate thermometer [B] in the water.
NOTE
The
sensor and thermometer must not touch the con-
tainer side or bottom.
Place the container over a source of heat and gradually
raise the temperature of the water while stirring the water
gently.
Using the hand tester, measure the internal resistance of
the sensor at the temperatures shown in the table.
If the hand tester does not show the specified values, re-
place the sensor.
