  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the B34 Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor.
  2. Test the ECT sensor by varying the sensor temperature while monitoring the sensor resistance. Compare the readings with the Temperature Versus Resistance - Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor table. The resistance values should be in range of the table values.
    • If not within the specified range 

      Replace the B34 Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor.

    • Go to next step: If within the specified range 
  3. Test for infinite resistance between each terminal and the sensor housing.
    • If less than infinite resistance 

      Replace the B34 Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor.

    • Go to next step: If infinite resistance 
  4. All OK.
