Rabbit L5-2.5L (BGP) (2006)
-
Using a multimeter, check the Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Sensor G62 terminals 1 to 2 for resistance.
Use the chart below for the specified values:
-
Area A: Resistance values 0 to 50 degrees C.
-
Area B: Resistance values 50 to 100 degrees C.
Specified values:
-
Range A, 30 degrees C equals a resistance of 1.5 to 2.0 kohm
-
Range B, 80 degrees C equals a resistance of 275 to 375ohm
If any of the specified values was not obtained:
-
Replace the Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Sensor (on Radiator) G83.
Testing if display is approx. - 40.0 degrees C
-
Disconnect the Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Sensor (on Radiator) G83 electrical harness connector.
-
Using a jumper wire , connect the Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Sensor (on Radiator) G83 electrical harness connector terminals 1 to 2.
-
Check the value indicated on the scan tool display.
If the value jumps to approx. 140.0 degrees C
-
End diagnosis and switch the ignition off.
-
Replace the Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Sensor G83.
If indication remains at approx. -40.0 degrees C:
Testing if display approx. 140.0 degrees C
-
Disconnect the Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Sensor (on Radiator) G83 electrical harness connector.
