Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the accuracy of the AEM Air Temperature Sensor?

The sensor offers an accuracy of less than 1.5°C (2.7°F).

What is the operating temperature range of this sensor?

It can operate reliably within a temperature range of -20°C to 150°C (-4°F to 302°F).

How quickly does the sensor respond to temperature changes?

The sensor has a thermal time constant of less than 15 seconds, meaning it reaches 63.2% of a new steady-state temperature very rapidly.

What type of thread does the sensor have?

The sensor features a standard 1/8" NPT male thread.

Is the electrical connector weatherproof?

Yes, it includes a high-performance DTM-style weatherproof connector, along with pins and wire seals.

What is the recommended installation torque?

The recommended installation torque is 13.5Nm (10 ft-lbs).

What material is the sensor body made from?

The sensor body is constructed from brass to maximize thermal conduction and resist corrosion.

Troubleshooting

Sensor not reading temperature or reading erratically.

Check all electrical connections, ensuring the DTM connector is securely seated and pins are properly aligned. Verify wiring to the ECU or gauge is correct and free from breaks. Ensure the sensor is properly grounded.

Inaccurate temperature readings.

Verify the sensor is installed in a location that accurately reflects inlet air temperature, not engine heat soak. Check installation torque; overtightening can damage the sensor. Ensure the operating temperature range is not being exceeded.

Connector not sealing properly.

Inspect the DTM connector and its seals for damage or debris. Ensure the connector is fully seated and locked into place.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Exceptional accuracy for precise engine tuning.
Fast response time ensures real-time temperature data.
Robust brass construction for durability and heat transfer.
Weatherproof connector protects against environmental factors.
Standard NPT thread allows for broad compatibility.

Cons

Requires proper wiring and integration into an engine management system.
Installation torque needs careful consideration to avoid damage.
Not designed for direct submersion in liquids.
Sensor body is brass, which may be less resistant to certain aggressive chemicals than stainless steel.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

Identify a suitable port on your engine's air intake system that is 1/8" NPT threaded.
Ensure the port is clean and free of debris.
Apply appropriate thread sealant (not included) to the sensor's threads, being careful not to impede the sensor element.
Screw the sensor into the port using a 1/2" hex wrench. Tighten to the specified torque of 13.5Nm (10 ft-lbs).
Connect the included DTM-style mating connector to the sensor.
Wire the sensor to your engine management system or gauge according to the manufacturer's instructions, paying close attention to pin assignments.

Compatibility:

Thread Size: 1/8" NPT
Electrical Termination: DTM-style connector
Compatible with most aftermarket engine management systems and data loggers that accept analog temperature inputs.

Care:

Clean the sensor exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or solvents.
Ensure the electrical connector remains clean and free of corrosion. Periodically inspect for damage.
Do not exceed the installation torque specification.
