-  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

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
