Cylinder Head Temperature Sensor

  1. With harness connected to sensor, measure between control unit connector pin 23 and ground. At temperatures above 68°F (20°C), resistance should be below 2900 ohms. At temperatures below 68°F (20°C), resistance should be above 2100 ohms. If not, repair harness.
  2. Remove sensor from head, and dip end of sensor into water at 68°F (20°C). Resistance should be 2100-2900 ohms across sensor terminals. Repeat test with water at 176°F (80°C). Resistance should be approximately 250-400 ohms.
