Coolant Temperature Switch

  1. Remove switch from radiator or engine block. Place switch and thermometer in container of coolant. Connect ohmmeter to coolant temperature switch terminals. Slowly heat coolant.
  2. Note temperature at which continuity is present between switch terminals. Continuity should be present with coolant temperature greater than 207°F (97°C). Continuity should not exist with temperature less than 194°F (90°C). Replace switch as necessary.
