Re: Scanning software with wideband input?

The temp sensors are thermistors = variable resistors, with a resistance inversely proportional to the temperature. The PCM applies a 5V voltage to the resistor, and translates the resulting voltage to the temperature reading. If you do a PCM scan, you can read either the temperature, or the circuit voltage.
