- Partially immerse the sensor in water and warm up the water.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition 1 - 2 Approx. 20°C (68°F) 2.32 to 2.59 kΩ 1 - 2 Approx. 80°C (176°F) 0.310 to 0.326 kΩ If the result is not as specified, replace the engine coolant temperature sensor.
NOTE: When checking the sensor in water, keep the terminals dry. After the check, wipe the sensor dry.
