Coolant Temperature Sensor
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1994 Plymouth Laser and 1994 Eagle Talon. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Coolant temperature sensor is located on intake manifold. Remove coolant temperature sensor. Place sensing portion of coolant temperature sensor in water.
- Gradually heat water and read resistance values across terminals. See COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR RESISTANCE table. If coolant temperature sensor resistance is not within specification, replace sensor.
