- Disconnect engine coolant temperature switch connector. Connect ohmmeter between switch terminal and ground. Note resistance reading.
- Resistance should be zero ohms when coolant temperature is less than 109°F (43°C). Resistance should be infinite when coolant temperature exceeds 131°F (55°C). Replace as necessary.
