Description
Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor (ECTS) is located in the
engine coolant passage of the cylinder head for detecting the engine
coolant temperature. The ECTS uses a thermistor that changes resistance
with the temperature.
The electrical resistance of the ECTS decreases as the
temperature increases, and increases as the temperature decreases...
Replacement
1.
If the compressor is marginally operable, run the engine at
idle speed, and let the air conditioning work for a few minutes, then
shut the engine off.
2.
Disconnect the negative (-) battery terminal.
3.
