Coolant Temperature Sensor

Disconnect 4-wire electronic thermoswitch harness connector, located on coolant pipe behind right cylinder head. Measure resistance between ground and terminal "T" at electronic thermoswitch. See Figure. Ensure resistance is as specified with coolant temperature at specified temperature. See COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR RESISTANCE  table. If resistance is not as specified, replace electronic thermoswitch.
