Test N: Outside Temperature Sensor Test

Sensor Locations - Typical:

Disconnect the outside temperature sensor connector. Connect the two red test leads of the J-33431 instrument panel tester to the outside air temperature sensor connectors terminals A (PNK/BLK) and B (PNK/WHT). Set the tester dials to 393 ohms (167 degrees Fahrenheit), 3510 ohms (68 degrees Fahrenheit), and 9410 ohms (32 degrees Fahrenheit).

1. If the outside temperature display is within 6 degrees Fahrenheit, then replace the outside air temperature sensor.

2. If the outside temperature display is not within 6 degrees Fahrenheit, check the PNK/WHT and TAN(901) wires, PNK/BLK(902) and BLK(353) wires for high resistance. If good, then replace the instrument cluster.
