Temperature Gauge Sending Unit

  1. Disconnect Yellow/Green wire from temperature gauge sending unit. Using ohmmeter, check resistance of temperature gauge sending unit with engine cold. Start engine and allow coolant temperature to rise.
  2. Check temperature gauge sending unit resistance as coolant temperature rises. If resistance values differ from specifications, replace temperature gauge sending unit. See TEMPERATURE GAUGE SENDING UNIT RESISTANCE  .
