Test 3 - Coolant Temperature Sensor (Codes 14, 15 And 16)
- Disconnect MCU control terminals at MCU. Disconnect terminal connector from coolant temperature sensor. Check circuits 6 and 8 between the MCU terminal and coolant temperature sensor for shorts and grounds.
- Measure the resistance across the coolant temperature sensor terminals. Compare sensor resistance to coolant temperature.COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR RESISTANCE
Temperature Ohms 14 (-10) 7000-12,000 50 (10) 3000-5000 68 (20) 2000-3000 122 (50) 700-1000 176 (80) 200-400 - Replace coolant temperature sensor if resistance does not meet specifications.
