Air Temperature Sensor for diesel applications, forming part of the engine management sensing circuit on the air intake side.

The sensor measures the temperature of the air entering the engine and returns that value to the engine control unit, which uses it alongside the pressure and mass-flow signals to establish air density and set fuelling accordingly. Depending on the application it is mounted in the turbocharger intake ducting or in the inlet manifold.

A drifting or out-of-range sensor typically shows as poor cold-start behaviour, smoke under load, or a stored intake air temperature fault code.

Frequently asked questions

What does the LR006796A air temperature sensor do?
The LR006796A is an air temperature sensor for diesel engines. It measures intake air temperature and feeds the reading to the engine management, helping set fuelling on the Freelander 1 and Range Rover P38.
Which vehicles does this sensor fit?
This air temperature sensor fits the Land Rover Freelander 1 (1996-2006) diesel engines and the Range Rover P38 (1994-2001) with the 2.5L 6-cylinder BMW diesel. It's for diesel engines only.
Where is the air temperature sensor fitted?
On the Freelander 1 diesel it typically mounts in the turbo intake hoses, and on the P38 2.5 diesel it sits in the inlet manifold or intake tract. It reads incoming air temperature for the engine management system.
What are the signs this sensor is faulty?
Common signs of a faulty air temperature sensor are poor cold starting, uneven running, or a fault code for the intake air temperature circuit. Replacing the sensor restores accurate air-temperature data to the diesel engine management.
