How did you know the resistance values for min and max temperature readings? Would this procedure be the same for the interior ambient temperature sensor that controls the auto climate control? Lastly, how come no dielectric grease when connecting the new sensor to the harness?
I have the shop manual for this truck which is where I get my values for electronic testing and torque specs. I always have manuals for my tutorial videos so I can provide accurate info. A lot of this stuff is application specific so generic values can't be used here. The interior sensor is most likely a different setup and is integrated with a module. I don't use dielectric grease as it's non-conductive and can sometimes cause problems. If I were to use something to protect the terminals, DeoxIt would be my go to then.
Always the best
Voltage tests at just under 5 and my ohms test well. So it appears the wiring and sensor are working properly yet I'm still reading -40 in the cab.
I'm having same issue. We're you able to find the problem?
Thanks great video
Thank you!
u ARE THE MAN!
Thank you so much!
My sensor has been working very well by being off by 1°f, but most of the times its been very accurate
Excellent. Thanks
Thank you 🙏
i am reading 5.035 volts on the harness, is that still within tolerance. if not how can i do fix this issue?

Where does the wire plug into and the is the fuse number
The digital tempurature gage is accurate but the check engine code says ambient air tempurature sensor
Same here. Any luck?
@@spermdizzle I just got a new sensor
@@spermdizzle did anyone have any luck?? I got a new sensor but check engine light is still going off
@@Buck4997 I had the same issue. I just parked my truck and I'll have to deal with it another time
What codes did you get to indicate changing this sensor?
P0073
So what’s important about this sensor?
Just shows ambient air temperature. Not a drivetrain sensor.
@@4DIYersso it’s something i shouldn’t be worried about
What are the symptoms of a bad sensor?
Well if you drive a tow truck like myself the symptoms include sweating 1 gallon of sweat and walking inside the house muggy swamp ass
