Attention! When removing and installing the sensor, do not touch the tool to its connector (plastic part).
Pic. 7.12. Location of coolant temperature sensor: A - SOHC engine; B - DOHC engine
1. Remove the coolant temperature sensor (pic. 7.12).
2. Dip the sensor element in hot water and measure the resistance.
Rated resistance value:
- at a temperature of 20°C - 2.1–2.7 kOhm;
- at a temperature of 80°C - 0.26–0.36 kOhm.
3. If the resistance value is significantly different from the nominal value, replace the sensor.
4. Apply 3M NUT Locking Part #4171 or equivalent to the sensor threads.
5. Reinstall the coolant temperature sensor and tighten to 30 Nm.
6. Connect the connector to the sensor.
