Intake Air Temperature Sensor -G42-, CHECKING

Function

The Engine Control Module -J623- uses the Intake Air Temperature Sensor -G42- signal to calculate a correction value for the charge air pressure. Evaluation of the signal gives consideration to the influence of temperature on the density of the charge air.

Special tools and workshop equipment required
