Resistance at Temperature
5.9 Ohms at 0°C (32°F)
2.5 Ohms at 20°C (68°F)
1.1 Ohms at 40°C (104°F)
0.3 Ohms at 80°C (176°F)

4. Apply sealant LOCTITE 962T or equivalent to threaded portion.
5. Install engine coolant temperature sensor and tighten it to specified torque.

Tightening torque 20-40 Nm (14-29 ft lb)
