If no malfunctions are found in wire:

Check sensor:

- Disconnect connector from Intake Air
Temperature (IAT) sensor.

Specified values
Example:
If air temperature is in a range from 0 C to 20 C, the resistance value
must be between 5 k and 2.4 k
If specified value is not obtained: - Connect multimeter at sensor for resistance measurement.Temperature C
Resistance k
-20 approx. 13.8
0 approx. 5.5
20 approx. 2.4
40 approx. 1.1
60 approx. 0.6
- Replace Intake Air Temperature (IAT) sensor.

Note:
The engine speed (RPM) sensor detects RPM
and reference marks. The engine cannot be
started without a signal from the engine speed
(RPM) sensor -G28-. If the engine speed (RPM)
sensor -G28- signal fails while the engine is
running, the engine will stop immediately.

Test sequence

- Before performing test, check sensor for proper
installation and proper fitting.

- Disconnect harness connector for the engine
speed (RPM) sensor (identification: gray
harness connector).

Note:
Resistance value of the engine speed (RPM) sensor is based on a
temperature of 20 C. Resistance increases as temperature increases. - Connect multimeter between terminal 2 and 3 for resistance
measurement.

Specification: 730 to 1000
