If display field 3 does not display a realistic
value:

- Disconnect harness connector from coolant
temperature sensor.

Coolant temperature sensor with square
connector:

- Connect multi-meter (resistance measurement) between terminals 1
and 3 of sensor.

Coolant temperature sensor with oval
connector:

All:
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.

Knock Sensor (KS) 1 -G61 and Knock
Sensor (KS) 2 -G66, checking


Notes:

It is not possible to carry out an electrical test of
the knock sensors themselves.
To ensure that the knock sensors function
properly it is important to keep exactly to the
specified tightening torque of 20 Nm (15 ft lb)
Use only gold-plated terminals when repairing
the terminals in the plug connectors for the
knock sensors.
Check for corrosion in connection between
knock sensor and wiring harness.

Checking knock sensors

Note: - Disconnect harness connector for relevant knock sensor in engine
compartment.

In order to reach the connector for the knock sensor for cylinder bank
2, first remove the bolts securing the coolant reservoir and move the
