Line 1: Line 1:
Hello I have a problem with a temperature sensor it has 1 Mohm of resistance at ambient temperature and according with the specification the value has to be 2 Kohm, I think that the circuit is open but I do not why, do you Know any reason for open circuits, or for the sensors failure.

Measuring 1 Mohm or more on a 2 pin temperature sensor such as a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermistor thermistor] or a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resistance_thermometer resistance temperature detector]?
 
Then it's probably permanently destroyed.
 
Sorry.
 
I usually destroy things by putting too high voltage -- now I know 120 V is too high :-).
 
I suppose it's also possible it failed from over-temperature or other stress.
