    1. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      D23-1 - D23-2 20°C (68°F) 2.32 to 2.59 kΩ
      80°C (176°F) 0.310 to 0.326 kΩ
      NOTE:

      If checking the engine coolant temperature sensor in water, be careful not to allow water to contact the terminals. After checking, wipe the water off the engine coolant temperature sensor.

      If the result is not as specified, replace the engine coolant temperature sensor.

    1. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance (for Front)

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      D21-1 - D21-2 20°C (68°F) 2.32 to 2.59 kΩ
      80°C (176°F) 0.310 to 0.326 kΩ

      Standard Resistance (for Rear)

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      D20-1 - D20-2 20°C (68°F) 2.32 to 2.59 kΩ
      80°C (176°F) 0.310 to 0.326 kΩ
      NOTE:

      If checking the E.F.I. engine coolant temperature sensor in water, be careful not to allow water to contact the terminals. After checking, wipe the water off the E.F.I. engine coolant temperature sensor.

      If the result is not as specified, replace the E.F.I. engine coolant temperature sensor.
