20°C (68°F) Sensor Resistance = 11.37 - 13.61 Kilohms
25°C (77°F) Sensor Resistance = 9.12 - 10.88 Kilohms
30°C (86°F) Sensor Resistance = 7.37 - 8.75 Kilohms
40°C (104°F) Sensor Resistance = 4.90 - 5.75 Kilohms
50°C (122°F) Sensor Resistance = 3.33 - 3.88 Kilohms
Does the Ambient Temperature Sensor resistance measure between the min/max
