Ambient Temperature Sensor Test

2005 Chrysler Sebring Limited, 4D Sedan, 2.7 TSECTION Ambient Temperature Sensor Test
  1. Turn the ignition OFF.
  2. Disconnect the ATS harness connector.
  3. Measure the resistance of the ATS using the following min/max values:
    • 0°C (32°F) Sensor Resistance = 29.33 - 35.99 Kilohms
    • 10°C (50°F) Sensor Resistance = 17.99 - 21.81 Kilohms
    • 20°C (68°F) Sensor Resistance = 11.37 - 13.61 Kilohms
    • 25°C (77°F) Sensor Resistance = 9.12 - 10.86 Kilohms
    • 30°C (86°F) Sensor Resistance = 7.37 - 8.75 Kilohms
    • 40°C (104°F) Sensor Resistance = 4.90 - 5.75 Kilohms

The sensor resistance should read between these min/max values. If the resistance values are no OK, replace the Sensor.

  • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
  • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
  • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
  • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
