Scale A shows resistance values for temperature range 0 - 50 C and 
scale B the values for temperature range 50 - 100 C.  -  Connect multi-meter (resistance measurement) between terminals 3 
and 4 of sensor. 
    
Examples:  
If value does not match the specification:  
30 C corresponds to a resistance from 1500...2000 80 C corresponds to a resistance from 275...375 
  -  Replace coolant temperature sensor.
