Operation CHARM: Car repair manuals for everyone.
Manuals through 2025 now available!

Our trusted friends have launched a new website named LEMON, which has newer manuals. It also contains all the CHARM manuals.

LEMON is the spiritual successor to CHARM, I recommend you try it!

Setpoint Values, Outside Temperature Sensor

Setpoint value table
The following table shows the resistance values of the temperature sensor in relation to the temperature.

For evaluation of the sensor, the measured resistance value must be compared with the corresponding operating temperature in the table.

Operating temperature range of the outside temperature sensor from -40° C to +80° C



-40°C R = 170,000 ohms +/-5000 ohms

-30°C R = 88,000 ohms +/-2000 ohms

-20°C R = 49,000 ohms +/-1000 ohms

-10°C R = 28,000 ohms +/-500 ohms

0°C R = 16,000 ohms +/-500 ohms

+10°C R = 10,000 ohms +/-100 ohms

+20°C R = 6000 ohms +/-100 ohms

+25°C R = 5000 ohms +/-80 ohms

+30°C R = 4000 ohms +/-70 ohms

+40°C R = 2700 ohms +/-60 ohms

+50°C R = 1800 ohms +/-50 ohms

+60°C R = 1200 ohms +/-50 ohms

+70°C R = 900 ohms +/-40 ohms

+80°C R = 600 ohms +/-40 ohms
