Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor: Inspection

INSPECT E.F.I. ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR
1. Resistance inspection.
  1. Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between each terminal.
    Standard Resistance:
    - 2.32 to 2.59 kΩ at Approx. 20°C (68°F)
    - 0.310 to 0.326 kΩ at Approx. 80°C (126°F)
    NOTE: While checking the engine coolant temperature sensor in water, be careful not to allow water to go into the terminals, and after checking, dry the sensor.
