Coolant Temperature Sensor
- Warm engine to normal operating temperature and stop engine. Using a thermometer, measure temperature of coola nt. Disconnect electrical connector from temperature sensor and connect 1 lead of ohmmeter to terminal in sensor and other lead to ground. Ohmmeter readings should be as specified in table. If not, replace temperature sensor.
