Standard resistance
TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITIONTester Connection Condition Specified Condition 1-2 20°C (68°F) 2.32 to 2.59 kΩ 80°C (176°F) 0.310 to 0.326 kΩ If the result is not as specified, replace the engine coolant temperature sensor.
NOTE: When checking the engine coolant temperature sensor in water, do not allow water to enter the terminals. After checking, dry the engine coolant temperature sensor.
