Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor -- Inspection |
1. INSPECT ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR |
Partially immerse the engine coolant temperature sensor in water and warm up the water.
Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Text in Illustration *a Component without harness connected
(Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor)*b Resistance *c Temperature *d Acceptable Range - Standard Resistance:
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition 1 - 2 20°C (68°F) 2.32 to 2.59 kΩ 80°C (176°F) 0.310 to 0.326 kΩ
- CAUTION:
- Do not put your hands in the water warmed up during the inspection.
- Touching the hot water may result in burns.
- NOTICE:
- When checking the engine coolant temperature sensor in water, do not allow water to contact the terminals. After completing the check, dry the engine coolant temperature sensor.
