Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor
- Engine coolant temperature sensor is located near thermostat housing and contains a Black/Light Blue wire and a Tan/Black wire in the electrical connector. Disconnect electrical connector at engine coolant temperature sensor.
- Using ohmmeter, measure resistance between electrical terminals on engine coolant temperature sensor. With engine coolant temperature of approximately 200°F (93°C), resistance should be approximately 700-1000 ohms. With engine coolant temperature of approximately 70°F (21°C), resistance should be approximately 7000-13,000 ohms.
- If engine coolant temperature sensor or wiring circuit failure exists, a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will be stored in Powertrain Control Module (PCM). See SELF-DIAGNOSTICS - CARAVAN, TOWN & COUNTRY, & VOYAGER article.
