Test NTC-4A - Checking Coolant Sensor Calibration
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1995 Dodge Ram Wagon, 1995 Dodge Ram Van, 1995 Dodge Pickup, and 1995 Dodge Cab & Chassis. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Turn ignition on. Using scan tool, read Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor value. If ECT sensor temperature is more than 180°F (82°C), allow engine coolant to cool to 150°F (66°C). Start engine. Allow engine to reach normal operating temperature of more than 180°F (82°C). If ECT sensor value does not increase smoothly, repair cooling system as necessary and replace ECT sensor. Perform TEST VER-2. If ECT sensor value increases smoothly, go to next step.
- If ECT sensor value did not reach 180°F (82°C) or more, repair cooling system as necessary and replace ECT sensor. Perform TEST VER-2. If ECT sensor value reached 180°F (82°C) or more, system is functioning properly. Test is complete.
