GF07.04-P-6050P Component Description For The Charge Air Temperature Sensor







Location
The charge air temperature sensor sits in the plastic housing in front of the throttle valve actuator (M16/6). Task The charge air temperature sensor detects the charge air temperature and sends the signal to the CDI control unit (N3/9).

Task
The charge air temperature sensor detects the charge air temperature and sends the signal to the CDI control unit (N3/9).

Design
The charge air temperature sensor possesses an integral measuring resistor with a negative temperature coefficient (NTC).

Function
The NTC measuring resistor alters its electrical resistance in line with the charge air temperature. Electrical resistance decreases as temperature increases.
