- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the B34 Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor.
- Test the ECT sensor by varying the sensor temperature while monitoring the sensor resistance.
- Verify the readings are within the range specified in the Temperature Versus Resistance - Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor
table.
- If not within the specified range
Replace the B34 Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor.
- If within the specified range
- If not within the specified range
- Test for infinite resistance between each terminal and the sensor housing.
- If less than infinite resistance
Replace the B34 Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor.
- If infinite resistance
- If less than infinite resistance
- All OK.
