Diamante Wagon V6-2972cc 3.0L SOHC (1993)
be held with its threaded housing 3 mm (1/8 in) away from the surface of the hot water.
Standard Values
5.8 K ohms at 32° F
2.4 K ohms at 68° F
1.1 K ohms at 104° F
0.3 K ohms at 176° F
Coolant Temperature Sensor
3.
If the resistance deviates from the standard value, install a new sensor. Be sure to apply thread sealant before installation.
NOTE: If the temperature of the engine coolant is known, then the sensor may be tested at the connector.
HARNESS TEST:
1.
Disconnect the coolant temperature sensor connector and turn the key to the ON position.
2.
Using a voltmeter, measure the power supply voltage between the harness connector terminal 1 and ground.
Voltage:
4.5 - 4.9 Volts.
3.
Check for continuity between the coolant temperature sensor harness connector terminal 2 and ground.
Continuity:
Should exist
If any of the previous tests produce unsatisfactory results, the harness will need to be repaired or replaced. Once repairs have been completed,
clear the trouble codes and road test the vehicle to confirm that the repair has corrected the problem and the code doesn't return.
If the same trouble code reoccurs, it is possible that there is an intermittent failure of the component or the ECM. Check for looseness at all
harness junctions and test for an intermittent failure.
