Chrysler 300 Ambient Temperature Sensor

One of the important applications of Chrysler 300 automobiles is the capability of the Ambient Temperature Sensor of obtaining the temperature of air getting into the engine. This sensor is found together with the Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor which passes information to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) to ensure the correct air/fuel mixture for combustion. A fault in the Ambient Temperature Sensor can cause the car to stall or fail to provide the correct air/fuel mixture, this is likely to be accompanied by a CHECK ENGINE light. Several types of MAF sensors have been fitted to Chrysler 300 models over the years, such as hot wire and VAF or velocity air flow sensors. The main distinction between such types is in the methodology for their determination and their response to fluctuations in air flow. The need for accuracy cannot be overemphasized for these sensors; more so when performance enhancement part are installed on the car which may call for a higher level of airflow that can only be met when the sensors' sensitivity have been adjusted accordingly.
