B17 (Intake air temperature sensor) Signal

Check component B17 (Intake air temperature sensor).

Test 1: Check actual value B17 (Intake air temperature sensor).
Test 2: Check plausibility of actual value B17 (Intake air temperature sensor) in control module N3/10 (ME-SFI control module).
Test 3: Test signal voltage of component B17 (Intake air temperature sensor).
Test 4: Test internal resistance of component B17 (Intake air temperature sensor).

1 Check actual value B17 (Intake air temperature sensor).

Test sequence
- Switch on ignition.
- Status of relevant actual value:
- Temperature of intake air: Communication with ECU required

Specified value
- Current temperature in area surrounding component B17 (Intake air temperature sensor)

Question: Is the actual value o.k.?

2 Check plausibility of actual value B17 (Intake air temperature sensor) in control module N3/10 (ME-SFI control module).

Test prerequisite
- The actual value is not o.k.

Test sequence
- Switch off ignition.
- Detach socket at component B17 (Intake air temperature sensor).
- Switch on ignition.
- Confirmation OK

Status of relevant actual value:
- Temperature of intake air: Communication with ECU required

Specified value
- If the connection is unplugged at component B17 (Intake air temperature sensor), the value is approx. [50.3°C].
- (The substitute value 50.3°C is displayed.)

Question: Is the actual value o.k.?

3 Test signal voltage of component B17 (Intake air temperature sensor).

Test prerequisite
- The actual value is not o.k.

Test sequence
- Switch off ignition.
- Connect socket box to component N3/10 (ME-SFI control module).
- [M.33] 33<-->78 [M.78]
- Switch on ignition.

Specified value
