INSPECTION
1. DRAIN ENGINE COOLANT
2. REMOVE ECT SENSOR
3. INSPECT ECT SENSOR RESISTANCE
Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between the ter-
minals.
Resistance: Refer to the graph
If the resistance is not as specified, replace the sensor.
4. REINSTALL ECT SENSOR
Install a new gasket to the ECT sensor.
