- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the B34 engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor.
- Test the ECT sensor by varying the sensor temperature while monitoring the sensor resistance. Compare the readings with the Temperature Versus Resistance
table and verify that the resistance is within 5 percent of the specification.
- If not within the specified range, replace the B34 ECT sensor.
NOTE:
A thermometer can be used to test the sensor off the vehicle.
