    1. Partially immerse the sensor in water and warm up the water.
    2. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      1 - 2 Approximately 20°C (68°F) 2.32 to 2.59 kΩ
      Approximately 80°C (176°F) 0.310 to 0.326 kΩ
      NOTE:

      When checking the sensor in water, keep the terminals dry. After the check, wipe the sensor dry.

      If the result is not as specified, replace the engine coolant temperature sensor.
