Product Information
Full details
This Haltech Air Temperature Sensor is designed for automotive enthusiasts and tuners needing precise engine air intake temperature (AIT) readings for their ECU or data logger. Its key benefit is providing accurate data for optimal engine performance tuning. A potential caveat is its specific NPT threading, requiring compatibility checks with your existing setup. The sensor features a robust 1/8" NPT thread, a Deutsch DTM-2 plug and pins for secure wiring, and measures temperatures up to 127° C (260° F).

FAQs
What is the operating temperature range of this sensor?
The sensor can measure temperatures from ambient up to 127° C (260° F).
What type of thread does the sensor use?
The sensor features a 1/8" NPT thread.
Does it come with wiring connectors?
Yes, it includes a Deutsch DTM-2 plug and corresponding pins for wiring.
Can I use this with a factory ECU?
Compatibility with factory ECUs depends on whether the ECU can be re-tuned or has an accessible input that can be configured for this type of sensor. It is primarily designed for aftermarket ECUs and data loggers.
How do I know if my ECU is compatible?
Your ECU must have an input channel that can accept a thermistor-type temperature sensor and allow for custom calibration or selection of common sensor types. Consult your ECU's manual.
Do I need to use thread sealant?
It is recommended to use thread sealant suitable for high temperatures and automotive environments to ensure a proper seal and prevent air leaks.
What is the purpose of measuring AIT?
Measuring Air Intake Temperature (AIT) is critical for engine tuning as air density changes with temperature. Accurate AIT data allows the ECU to adjust fuel and ignition timing for optimal performance and efficiency.
Troubleshooting
Sensor not reading temperature
Verify wiring connections to the ECU/data logger. Ensure the ECU input is correctly configured for the Haltech AIT sensor. Check for continuity in the sensor wiring.
Inaccurate temperature readings
Ensure the sensor is securely installed and sealed to prevent air leaks. Confirm the correct sensor calibration is applied in the ECU/data logger software. Check for exhaust leaks near the sensor which could skew readings.
Sensor not threading into port
Confirm the port is indeed 1/8" NPT. Ensure there are no obstructions or damaged threads in the port or on the sensor.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Provides accurate AIT data essential for engine tuning.
- Standard 1/8" NPT thread ensures wide compatibility.
- Includes a high-quality Deutsch connector for reliable wiring.
- Suitable for a broad range of operating temperatures.
- Durable design for automotive environments.
Cons
- Requires an available 1/8" NPT port for installation.
- Wiring requires knowledge of ECU/data logger input specifications.
- Temperature range might be insufficient for extreme specialized applications.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Identify an available port on your engine's intake manifold or air intake system with a 1/8" NPT female thread.
- Carefully thread the sensor into the port. Use thread sealant specifically designed for high temperatures and automotive applications if necessary. Avoid over-tightening.
- Wire the sensor to your ECU or data logger according to the Haltech sensor's pinout and your device's input specifications. Consult your ECU/data logger manual for proper sensor input configuration.
Compatibility:
- Thread: Requires a 1/8" NPT female threaded port.
- Electrical: Compatible with ECUs and data loggers that accept a thermistor-type temperature sensor input. Ensure your ECU/data logger can be configured for the sensor's resistance-temperature curve.
Care:
- Keep the sensor's electrical connector clean and free of debris.
- Periodically check the sensor for any physical damage or leaks.
- Avoid using harsh chemicals or solvents directly on the sensor body.
