Coolant Temperature Sensor Testing
- Drain cooling system. Remove coolant temperature sensor from lower corner of radiator. Place coolant temperature sensor in water up to the mounting threads.
- Heat water to 185°F (85°C) and check continuity between sensor terminals. Ensure continuity exist. Reduce water temperature to less than 172°F (78°C). Check continuity. Continuity should NOT exist. Replace sensor if it does not test as specified.
