The temp sensor II doesn't have any default setting. The resistance simply
varies with temperature. Cold it might read 6000 ohms, decreasing to a few
hundred when warm. I had one fail to a low enough resistance value that I
couldn't start the engine in cold weather. A 5000 ohm fixed resistor got
things warmed up enough to get me home!
