   Tester Display	Measurement Item	Range	Normal Condition	Diagnostic Note
   Coolant Temperature	Engine coolant temperature	Min.: -40°C (-40°F), Max.: 140°C (284°F)	75 to 100°C (167 to 212°F): After warming up	This is the engine coolant temperature. HINT:  After warming up the engine, the engine coolant temperature will be 75 to 100°C (167 to 212°F). After a long soak, the engine coolant temperature, intake air temperature and ambient air temperature will be approximately equal. If the value is -40°C (-40°F), or higher than 135°C (275°F), the sensor circuit is open or shorted. Check if the engine overheats if the value indicated is higher than 135°C (275°F).
