In-car Temperature Sensor
Removal
The in-car temperature sensor assembly includes a
small fan (aspirator fan) to draw air past the sensor (see
page 22-66(’93-’96), 91(’91-’92)).
SRS components are located in this area. Review the SRS
component locations, precautions, and procedures in the
SRS section (24) before performing repairs or service.
1. Remove the center console panel (see page 22-54).
2. Remove the two screws and the in-car temperature
sensor from the under side of the center console
panel. Be careful not to damage the center console
panel.

UNDER SIDE OF CENTER
CONSOLE PANEL
Test
Compare the resistance reading between the No, 1 and
No. 2 terminals of the in-car temperature sensor with
specifications shown in the following graph: It should
be within specification.
TEMPERATURE
CAUTION: The sensor uses a thermistor which can
be damaged if high current is applied to it during test-
ing. Therefore, use a circuit tester that puts out a
measuring current of 1 mA or less.
