INSPECTION
1. | Ignition "ON"
2. | Using the multi-tester, Measure resistance between terminal "1" and "2" of water temperature sensor. Specification
Coolant temperature [°C(°F)] | Resistance (kΩ)
-30 (-22) | 177.49 ± 3%
-20 (-4) | 97.12 ± 3%
-10 (14) | 55.27 ± 3%
0 (32) | 32.61 ± 3%
20 (68) | 12.48 ± 3%
40 (104) | 5.33 ± 3%
60 (140) | 2.50 ± 3%
80 (176) | 1.27 ± 3%
3. | If the measured resistance is not specification, substitute with a known-good water temperature sensor and check for proper operation.
4. | If the problem is corrected, replace the water temperature sensor.
Negative type thermistor that resistance will rise with lower temperature, and reduce with higher temperature.
REPLACEMENT
1. | Disconnect the negative (-) battery terminal.
2. | Remove the crashpad lower panal(A).
3. | Pull the water temperature sensor out at the heater unit with the clamp (C).
4. | Install in the reverse order of removal.
- | Apply caulk to the water temperature sensor.
- | Make sure that there is no air leakage.
