Sensor Range Tests (1991)
*For reference only.


Introduction

Sensor operating range information can help determine if a sensor is out of calibration. An out-of-calibration sensor may cause driveability problems.

NOTE: Unless stated otherwise in test procedure, perform all voltage tests using a Digital Volt-Ohmmeter (DVOM) with a minimum 10-megohm input impedance.
