INSPECTION
INSPECT ECT SWITCH CONTINUITY
(a) Using an ohmmeter, check the no continuity exists be-
tween the terminals when the coolant temperature is a
above 100°C (212°F).
If there is continuity, replace the switch.
(b) Using an ohmmeter, check the continuity existsbetween
the terminals when the coolant temperature is below
91°C (196°F).
If there is no continuity, replace the switch.

10. INSPECT ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE RE-
CEIVER GAUGE OPERATION
(a) Disconnect the connector from the sender gauge.
(b) Turn the ignition switch ON, check that the receiver gauge
needle indicates COOL.
(c) Ground terminal on the wire harness side connector
through a 3 W test bulb.
(d) Turn the ignition switch ON, check that the bulb lights up
and that the receiver gauge needle moves toward the hot
side.
If operation is as specified, replace the sender gauge.
Then recheck the system.
If operation is not as specified, measure the receiver gauge re-
sistance.
11. INSPECT ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE RE-
CEIVER GAUGE RESISTANCE
Measure the resistance between terminals.
HINT:
Connect the test leads so that the current from the ohmmeter
can flow according to the chart order.
Between terminalsResistance (W)
A - BApprox. 229.7
A - CApprox. 54.0
B - CApprox. 175.7
If resistance value is not as specified, replace the engine cool-
ant temperature receiver gauge.
12. INSPECT ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE SEND-
ER GAUGE RESISTANCE
Measure the resistance between terminal and gauge body.
Temperature °C (°F)Resistance (W)
50 (122.0)160 ~ 240
120 (248.0)17.1 ~ 21.2
If resistance value is not as specified, replace the engine cool-
ant temperature sender gauge.

COOLANT
INSPECTION
1. CHECK ENGINE COOLANT LEVEL AT RADIATOR RESERVOIR
The engine coolant level should be between the ºLOWº and ºFULLº lines, when the engine is cold.
If low, check for leaks and add engine coolant up to the ºFULLº line.
2. CHECK ENGINE COOLANT QUALITY
(a) Remove the radiator cap.
CAUTION:
To avoid the danger of being burned, do not remove the radiator cap while the engine and radiator
are still hot, as fluid and steam can be blown out under pressure.
(b) There should not be any excessive deposits of rust or scale around the radiator cap or radiator filler
hole, and the coolant should be free from oil.
If excessively dirty, replace the coolant.
(c) Reinstall the radiator cap.
