Replace the thermostat if it is open at room temperature'
To test a closed thermostat:
1, Suspend the thermostat in a container of water as
shown.
THEBMOMETER

Heat the water, and check the temperature with a
thermometer. Check the temperature at which the
thermostat first opens, and at which it is fully open
CAUTION: Do not let the thermometer touch the
bottom of the hot Gonlainel.
Measure lift height of the thermostat when fully
open.

Engine Coolant Temperature (ECTI Sensor
The scan tool indicates Diagnostic Trouble code (DTC) P0116; A range/performance problem in the EngrneCoolant Temperature (ECT) Sensor circuit.
The ECT Sensor is a temperature dependant resistor (thermistor). The resistance of the thermistor decreases as the enginecoolant temperature increases as shown oetow.

Troubleshooting -'96 - 98 Models
Symptom Chart
NOTE;
. Check the engine coolant level. and allow the engine to warm up before troubleshooting.
. Any abnormality must be corrected before continuing the test.
. Because of the precise measurements needed. use a multimeter when testing.
o Before performing any troubleshooting procedures check:- Fuses No. 41 11.5 Al, No. 55 (40 A) in the under-hood fuse/relay box. and No. 17 (7.5 A) in the under-dash fuse/relay
box- Grounds No. G401, G402- Cleanliness and tightness of all connectors
SymptomRomedy
Hot air flow is low.Blower motor runs. but one or more
speeds are inoperative.
Perform the procedures in the flowchart (see page 21-8).
Blower runs properly.Check for the following:. Clogged heater duct. Clogged heater outlet. Incorrect door position
No hot air flow.Blower motor does not run at all,Perform the procedures in the flowchart (see page 21-10).
Blower motor runs.Check for the following:. Clogged heater duct. Clogged blower outlet. Clogged heater valve. Faultv air mix door. Heater valve cable adjustment (see page 21-44). Air mix control cable adiustment (see page 2'l-441. Faulty cooling system thermostat (see section 10). Clogged evaporator (with air conditioning). Frozen evaporator {with air conditioning)
Mode control motor does not run, or one or more modes
are inooerative.
