Coupling Air Temperature Sensor Inspection
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Suzuki SX4. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Reference: COUPLING AIR TEMPERATURE SENSOR REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
CAUTION:
Do not heat up coupling air temperature sensor more than 100 °C (212 °F). Otherwise, coupling air temperature sensor will be damaged.
- Blow hot air to temperature sensing part (2) of coupling air temperature sensor (3) using hot air drier (4) and measure resistance between sensor terminals while heating air gradually.
If measured resistance does not show such characteristic as shown, replace air temperature sensor.
