Coolant Temperature Switch

  2. When water temperature is below 59°F (15°C) on Sentra models or 63°F (17°C) on 210 and 310 models, ohmmeter should show continuity.
  3. When water temperature is above 104°F (40°C) on Sentra models or 95°F (35°C) on 210 and 310 models, ohmmeter should not show continuity. If switch does not operate within specifications, replace it.
