Testing
BATTERY TEMPERATURE SENSOR
To perform a complete test of this sensor and its circuitry, refer to the appropriate Powertrain Diagnostic Procedures. To test the sensor only, refer
to the following:
Battery Temperature Sensor Location
1. The sensor is located on the front of the battery tray. A two-wire pigtail harness is attached directly to the sensor. The opposite end of this harness
connects the sensor to the engine wiring harness.
2. Disconnect the two-wire pigtail harness from the engine harness.
3. Attach ohmmeter leads to the wire terminals of the pigtail harness.
4. At room temperature of 25° C (75-80° F), an ohmmeter reading of 9000 (9K) to 11000 (11K) ohms should be observed.
5. If reading is above or below the specification, replace the sensor.
6. Refer to the Battery Temperature Sensor Replacement for procedures.
