Component Testing: THERMOSENSOR
- Ensure engine coolant temperature is below 104°F (40°C). Disconnect vacuum hose No. 19 from charcoal canister. If no vacuum is present at idle, thermovalve is open and test may be performed.
- Unplug connector at control unit. Check for resistance between Blue/Yellow and Brown/Black terminals. Resistance should be above 1000 ohms. Run engine until cooling fan comes on and check resistance again. Resistance should be about 200 ohms.
- If resistance is outside specified ranges, replace thermosensor and retest. If ohmmeter shows no continuity, check wires. If no defects are found, replace thermosensor and retest.
