Coolant Temperature Indicator Test

  1. If indicator fails to activate when cranking engine, check for defective bulb, open light circuit, or defective ignition switch.
  2. If indicator light is activated at all times with engine running, ensure engine is operating at proper temperature. With ignition on, disconnect electrical connector at temperature sending unit.
  3. If light is not activated, replace sending unit. If light is activated, check for ground in wire between bulb and sending unit, defective ignition switch, or defective instrument cluster.
