- Measure resistance (sensor resistance) between
terminal 8 and 7 using VAG1526 multimeter.
Specified values:

Coolant temperature 90 C: approx. 110 Ohm
Coolant temperature 120 C: approx. 50 Ohm If the specified values are not reached, the wire
connection to Engine Coolant Temperature
(ECT) -G2- must be checked.

- Check wire connection according to wiring
diagram.

Electrical Wiring Diagrams, Troubleshooting &
Component Locations If the wire connection is OK, Engine Coolant
Temperature (ECT) -G2- must be replaced.
