Kia Sportage: Ambient Sensor: Repair procedures

Third generation SL (2010–2016) / Kia Sportage SL Service & Repair Manual / Heating,Ventilation, Air Conditioning / Air Conditioning System / Ambient Sensor: Repair procedures

Inspection

1.	Ignition "OFF"

2.	Disconnect ambient temperature sensor.

Check the resistance of ambient temperature sensor between terminals 1 and 2 whether it is changed by changing of the ambient temperature.

1. Sensor Ground

2. Ambient Sensor Signal

Specification

Ambient temperature [°C(°F)]	Resistance between terminals 1and 2 (k?)
-30(-22)	507
-20(-4)	284.5
-10(14)	164.2
0 (32)	97.5
10 (50)	59.6
20 (68)	37.46
30(86)	24.18
40(104)	16
50(122)	10.83

4.	If the measured resistance is not specification, substitute with a known-good ambient temperature sensor and check for proper operation.

5.	If the problem is corrected, replace the ambient temperature sensor.

Replacement

1.	Disconnect the negative (-) battery terminal.

2.	Disconnect the connector and then remove the ambient temperature sensor (A).

3.	Installation is the reverse order of removal.
