Air THERMO & Air Inlet Sensors

1990 Eagle Summit Base, StandardSECTION Air THERMO & Air Inlet Sensors
  1. Remove sensor connector from A/C compressor control unit (located above evaporator housing). See Figure. Using an ohmmeter, measure continuity between connector terminals. Resistance should be within specification. See AIR THERMO & AIR INLET SENSOR SPECIFICATIONS table.
  2. If resistance is not within specification, sensor is faulty and must be replaced. If within specifications and all other components test okay, replace A/C compressor control unit.
