F. OUTSIDE AIR TEMPERATURE SENSOR

FUNCTION:

The ambient temperature sensor is an encapsulated

thermistor that provides the ECU with an input of

external air temperature. Ambient sensor is a ther-

mistor that decreases its resistance when

temperature increases and increases when tempera-

ture decreases

LOCATION:

The sensor is located on the lower hood latch brack-

et on the top radiator tie member.
