[200q20v] RE: [s-cars] Inlet Air Temp code

[TM]

Let me clarify-
I took the connector off of the sensor. I measured resistance
across the two pins in the sensor. Then, just for kicks, I measured
the two female sockets in the connector- that's where I got the
2400 ohm reading.

Does this make sense? Am I looking at a bad wire now? Damn.

Taka,

My only response at this time is..."what the?"  Can't think of any reason
why the resistance at the pin out would be different that at the sensor
itself.  Don't imagine they used a wire with resistance, or installed a
built in resistor, but I'm not an electrical engineer.

Do you have the wiring diagrams?
