- Dip the sensor in ice water, and measure the resistance
between terminals No. 1 and No. 2
- Then pour warm water on the sensor, and check for a
change in resistance
- Compare the resistance readings with the specifications
shown in the graph; the resistance should be within the
specifications
- If the resistance is not as specified, replace the evaporator
temperature sensor.
