- Disconnect the RED wire from the engine coolant temperature (ECT) sending unit.
- With the engine cold, use an ohmmeter to measure resistance between the positive terminal and the engine (earth).
- Check the temperature of the coolant.
- Run the engine and measure the change in resistance with the engine at operating temperature (radiator fan comes on).
| Temperature | 56 degrees C (133 degrees F) (Engine cold) | 85 degrees C (185 degrees F) – 100 degrees C (212 degrees F) |
