Hi All.

Just a quick one.

Can anyone tell me if the standard Bosch 93490 temperature sensor will work with my MS-II?

Thanks for your time.

In the Autodata Book page 448 there is a page giving a tolerance of various readings that go like this.

-10°C 8.2-11 k ohms
+20°C 2.28-2.72 k ohms
+40°C 1.0-1.5 k ohms
+60°C 600-700 ohms
+80°C 290-370 ohms
+100°C 180-220 ohms

Professor,

Yes, that sensor will work just fine. When you start up MegaTune, go to Tools -> Calibrate Thermistor Tables... and you'll see the MS-II equivalent of EasyTherm. Just pick the extreme and middle points off your table above, type them in and hit return.

Ah righto.
The MS-II was built with only the standard parts.

I set it up by the following

-10°C 9600 ohms
+60°C 500 ohms
+100°C 200 ohms

Will this be ok?
