Coolant Temperature Sensor

  1. Disconnect battery ground cable and electrical connector from sensor. Connect an ohmmeter between sensor terminals. Reading should be as shown in Temperature/Resistance Relationship chart.
  2. Disconnect ohmmeter and check resistance between each terminal and sensor body. A very high resistance denoting an open circuit should be obtained. If sensor does not respond as outlined, replace coolant temperature sensor.
