my thermorestior has gone bad . it is under the battery tray on 02 thru. 06 dodge ram. it has 6 volts comming in to it and i need 3 volts comming out. it changes by battery temp. mine is bad and lets too much voltage thru. and it turns my check engin light on , and i can't get it inspected till i get the light off. the part to replace cost 50.00. and has nothing to do with anything except the temp. of the battery. they quite putting them on after 06. i need a used one or something to replace it with.
a chock, resitor or ic. i do not know what i need to reduce 6 volts dc. to 3 volts dc.. this thermorestor has 2 wires 6 volts going in and variable comming out. too high i get a code 1492 too low and i get a code 1493 so i think i need 3 volts from 6 volts reducer some how please help me out
thanks in advance DAN
Dan,
I'm not familiar with the codes you mentioned above. I also can't tell if you need a temperature sensor or a step-down regulator (switching or linear) of some type, but we have both available at TI. Check out our offerings at www.ti.com
