HINT
As the temperature increases, the resistance decreases (refer to the graph).

NOTICE:
* Touching the sensor even slightly may change the resistance value. Be sure to hold the connector of the sensor.
* When measuring the resistance, the sensor temperature must be the same as the ambient temperature.

If the result is not as specified, replace the cooler thermistor (ambient temperature sensor).
