Default Different color connector wires. HELPPP


I am replacing the rubber groument for the intake temp sensor. How do I know which wires are supposed to connect? They aren’t the same color and this is how I bought the car. There is two greens, one yellow and one red

If it worked as it is wired in your photo above... re-connect it the same way.

I still have the code so I’m not sure. I checked the resistance of the sensor and it checked out to be good. Could the sensor still be bad even though it’s good?

well nvm I did a continuity test with a multimeter and I got a .699 reading on it so I guess it’s correct.

The sensor is a thermistor... which is a resistant circuit. In your photo close to the plug connector, the green wire appears to be bare/damaged. This may still cause an issue, so repair the wiring and replace the IAT connector with a good clean one with healthy wiring, clear the code, and re-test.
