Sensor Inspection

1. Remove engine coolant temperature sensor from the intake manifold.




2. With temperature sensing portion of engine coolant temperature sensor immersed in hot water, check resistance.

0 (32) 5.8

40 (104) 1.1
80 (176) 0.3










3. If the resistance deviates from the standard value greatly, replace the sensor.
