First diagnostic step
Enter diagnostic mode and verify sensor temperature reads ambient (typically 50-90°F / 10-32.2°C). Disconnect power, inspect sensor connections and wiring, measure sensor resistance (should be 1000-1200 ohms at room temperature), check for short circuit between sensor connector and shield. Replace sensor or wiring as needed.
More steps, wiring diagram references, and verified part numbers
Includes expected resistance and voltage values, connector pinouts, and supersession notes for replacement parts.
