Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Sensor
- Turn ignition off. Disconnect negative battery cable. Drain coolant. Remove ECT sensor. The sensor is located on top front of engine.
- With sensing portion of ECT sensor submerged in water measure resistance between terminals. See Figure. Replace ECT sensor if resistance is not as specified. See ECT SENSOR RESISTANCE table.
