Too-high resistance
Detected exhaust temperature reads lower than actual. The system may fail to activate protection when exhaust temperature is genuinely dangerous.
Too-low resistance
Detected exhaust temperature reads higher than actual. The unit enters high exhaust temperature protection frequently, compressor frequency threshold rises, leading to unwanted shutdowns. Example: installing a 20KΩ coil sensor in place of the 50KΩ exhaust sensor produces this behavior.
