if the coolant temperature warning light does not come on when the temperature is high
(more than 117 ~ 123 °C (242.6 ~ 253.4 °F):
(1). Connection reliability
Check whether the wire connected to the
sensor is strong
CONTINUITY
(2). Thermo switch 1
• Remove the thermo switch 1 from the
cylinder head.
• Connect the pocket tester (Ω × 1) to the
thermo switch 1 ①.
• Immerse the thermo switch 1 in coolant ②.
• Check the thermo switch 1 for continuity.
While heating the coolant use a thermometer
③ to record the temperatures.
□
A
The thermo switch 1 circuit is open and the
coolant temperature warning light is off.
□
B
The thermo switch 1 circuit is closed and
the coolant temperature warning light is on.
