July 1: So it begins. Don't worry, this is not in the correct legal jurisdiction!

Coolant Temperature Sensor

  1. Unplug harness from ECA and install Breakout Box. Leave processor disconnected. Unplug ECT sensor connector. Measure resistance from pin 7 to 40 and from 7 to 60.
  2. Resistance should be more than 10,000 ohms. If resistance is less, check wiring harness for a short to ground. Measure resistance directly across sensor. Values should be as specified in Coolant Temperature Sensor Resistance table. If not, replace sensor.
