- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the B34B Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor.
- Test the ECT sensor by varying the sensor temperature while monitoring the sensor resistance. Compare the readings with the Temperature Versus Resistance table. The resistance values should be in range of the table values.
- If not within the specified range
Replace the B34B Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor.
- Go to next step: If within the specified range
- If not within the specified range
- Test for infinite resistance between each terminal and the sensor housing.
- If less than infinite resistance
Replace the B34B Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor.
- Go to next step: If infinite resistance
- If less than infinite resistance
- All OK.
