Coolant Temperature Sensor
- Warm engine to normal operating temperature and stop engine. Using a thermometer, measure temperature of coolant. Disconnect negative battery cable and sensor electrical connector.
- Connect ohmmeter leads to both terminals of sensor. Readings should be as specified for corresponding temperatures. See COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR RESISTANCE chart. If not, replace coolant temperature sensor.
