Remove A/C amplifier with connectors still con-
nected.
1. Turn ignition switch ON.
2. Measure voltage between terminal TAM of SG
of A/C amplifier connector at each temperature.
HINT: As the temperature increases, the voltage decreases 
gradually.
Voltage:
at 25°C (77°F):    1.35 ~ 1.75  V
at 40°C (104°F):  0.85 ~ 1.25  V
1. Remove the clip and the sensor from the right
side inside the bumper reinforcement.
2. Disconnect ambient temperature sensor connec±
tor.
Check resistance between terminals 1 and 2 of ambi-
ent temperature sensor connector at each tempera-
ture.
 
Resistance:  
at 25°C (77°F):    1.6 ~ 1.8 k
at 50°C (122°F):   0.5 ~ 0.7 k
HINT: As the temperature increases, the resistance
decreases gradually.
NOTICE:
When installing the ambient temperature sensor, 
be sure to connect the sensor connector before 
connecting the battery.
