TEST POINT 9

Temperature Sensor II (Engine Temperature)




1. Check plug for tight fit and plug receptacles for cleanliness and contact.
2. Connect ohmmeter between term. 13 on disconnected DME plug and ground.
Specifications for 15 to 30°C (59 to 86°F): 1.45 to 3.3 k-ohms
Specifications for 80°C (176°F): 280 to 360 ohms
If measured values deviate from specified values, repeat test on temperature sensor itself, replacing temperature sensor if necessary.

Note: Break on temperature sensor causes richer mixture. Short on temperature sensor causes leaner mixture.
