Sensor Resistance Chart:





Fig. 1 Resistance graph

The diagram applies to Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor -G62- and Intake Air Temperature (IAT) sensor -G72-.

Scale A shows resistance values for temperature range 0°-50°C (32°-122°F) and scale B shows the values for temperature range 50°-100°C (122°-212°F).

Examples:
- 30°C(86°F) corresponds to a resistance from 1500-2000 ohms
- 80°C(176°F) corresponds to a resistance from 275-375 ohms
