Sensor Resistance Test
- Remove Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor from engine. See COMPONENT LOCATIONS . Place sending unit in 158°F (70°C) water. Check sensor resistance using ohmmeter.
- ECT sensor resistance should be 90-117 ohms. If ECT sensor resistance is okay, go to GAUGE RESISTANCE TEST . If resistance is within specification, repair or replace instrument cluster printed circuit board or coolant temperature gauge assembly. If resistance is not as specified, replace ECT sensor.
