Sensor Inspection
-
Remove the engine coolant temperature sensor from the intake manifold.
-
With temperature sensing portion of coolant temperature sensor immersed in hot water check resistance.
Temperature versus Resistance:
At 0°C (32°F), Resistance should be 5.8k Ohms
At 20°C (68°), Resistance should be 2.4k Ohms
At 40°C (104°), Resistance should be 1.1k Ohms
At 80°C (176°), Resistance should be 0.3k Ohms
-
If the resistance is outside the standard value greatly, replace the sensor.
