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.
