Check them all, as they are not all going to be us, that way one that is substantially different will show up.

unplug each sensor and check the ohmes by touching the probes of your tester on to the 2 terminals in the end of the lead to your sensor which will give you a resistance reading then write it down then go round all 4 you should then see 1 that is miles away from the other readings
