       If wiring is OK:  
    
-  Check ECT sensor resistance across terminal 1 (signal) and terminal 3 
(ground). 
-  Check measured resistance value for appropriate temperature range 
using graph below (N24-0157). 
 
Range A: 0-50 C (32-122 F)
 
Range B: 50-100 C (122-212 F)
    
Examples:  
If resistance is NOT OK:  
At 30 C, ECT sensor resistance should be 1500-2000 At 80 C, ECT sensor resistance should be 275-375 
-  Replace Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor -G62-.
- Check readiness code   page 01

 . If Diagnostic Trouble Code 
(DTC) memory has been erased, or ECM was disconnected, generate 
new readiness code   page 01
