Coolant temperature sensor with oval
connector:

All models:
Range A shows the resistance values for the temperature range from 0-
50 C, and range B shows the values for the temperature range from 50-
100 C. - Connect multimeter between terminal C and D of sensor for resistance
measurement.

Read-out examples:
If specified value is not obtained:
30 C corresponds to a resistance of 1500 to 2000 80 C corresponds to a resistance of 275 to 375
- Replace coolant temperature sensor.
