coolant temperature is used by the ECM for the engine protection system
and the timing and fueling control.
Make sure the airflow through the radiator is not obstructed.
COMPONENT LOCATION
The coolant temperature sensor is located on top of the thermostat
housing.

screen to the reading from the temperature probe. NOTE: If a temperature measuring device is not
available, answer “Yes” to this step.
