Think I used a 2N3904 with emitter on the grey wire, base and collector joined to the black wire when I replaced the drive with an SSD in a friends iMac. Did the job and cost pennies.
I think the original sensor is supposed to be digital (PWM?). Firmware wouldn't be able to put out an analog value. I do know about the shorting trick, but I wonder how important it is to get real temperature for HDDs, to avoid overheating.
This is for the 2015 iMacs with SATA HDDs, with temperature over the SATA power connector (HDD LED pin I hear?), not the older setup with the discrete connector.
with my old 2012 I used an App, can't remember what it was now, SpeedFan or SMC fan control or something like that, which read the temperature from the HDD and set the fan appropriately
Yeah, there are software hacks, but I think I'd rather work out the hardware bit (also I plan to run Linux on it, not sure how that'd translate).
I don't know if it was addressed in later models but when I had a 2011 iMac the sensor was needed for platter drives. Without it I had to script out controlling the fans vs temp so it would stop overheating.
