  1. Check that the engine coolant temperature sensor has no deformation, cracks or other damages.

  3. Raise water temperature gradually, measure the resistance between the engine coolant temperature sensor terminals when the temperature is 20°C (68°F) and 80°C (176°F).
    NOTE: Agitate the water for even temperature distribution.
