Intake Air Temperature Sensor, Function




Intake Air Temperature Sensor, Function




3 NTC resistor
B17 Intake air temperature sensor (engine 104, 111, 119)
B17/5 Left intake air temperature sensor (engine 120)
B17/6 Right intake air temperature sensor (engine 120)

The NTC resistor integrated in the intake air temperature sensor, alters its electrical resistance in line with the intake air temperature.
NTC means Negative Temperature Coefficient; which means that the electrical resistance drops as the temperature increases.
