Coolant Temperature Switch

  1. With engine cold and not running, check continuity across coolant temperature switch (in radiator) terminals. Below 62°F (16.7°C), continuity should exist.
  2. Start engine and allow to warm. Above 62°F (16.7°C), continuity across switch terminals should not exist.
  3. If continuity readings are incorrect, replace coolant temperature switch.
