Coolant Temperature Sensor
Warm engine to normal operating temperature and stop engine. Using a thermometer, measure temperature of coolant. Disconnect negative battery cable and sensor electrical connector. Connect ohmmeter leads to both terminals of sensor. Readings should be as shown in chart for corresponding temperature. If not, replace coolant temperature sensor.
