Resistance Inspection
- Remove the battery cover.
- Disconnect the negative battery cable. (See BATTERY REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [LF] ).
- Disconnect the ECT sensor connector.
- Remove the ECT sensor. (See ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE (ECT) SENSOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION ).
- Place the ECT sensor in the water and while increasing the water temperature, measure the resistance between ECT sensor terminals A and B.
- If the monitor item status/specification (reference) is not within the specification, even though the ECT sensor resistance is within the specification, perform the "Circuit Open/Short Inspection".
- If not within the specification, replace the ECT sensor. (See ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE (ECT) SENSOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION )
STANDARD
| Water temperature (°C {°F}) | Resistance (kilohm) |
|---|---|
| 20 {68} | 35.48-39.20 |
| 80 {176} | 3.65-4.02 |
