Water temperature sensor
1. Inspect the water temperature sensor to make
sure that it is properly operating. As shown in
the following figure, connect an electric resistor
to the coupler of the water temperature sensor
.
Figure 8-9
2. Dip the water temperature sensor and an
accurate thermometer
(Figure 8-9, (2))
into the
cooling water.
3. Measure the electric resistance value while
slowly raising the cooling water temperature
using an external heat source.
4. The resistance value at each of the following
temperatures is within the permissible range
specified, the water temperature sensor is
correctly operating.
■
Thermostat
1. Check for proper operation of the thermostat.
Place the thermostat
and an
accurate thermometer
(Figure 8-10, (2))
in
warm water.
Figure 8-10
2. Slowly increase the temperature of the water
using an external heat source.
3. The thermostat is operating properly if it starts
to open at the temperature value stamped on
the flange of the thermostat, and fully opens as
the temperature of the water is increased.
■
Radiator cap
1. Check for proper operation of the radiator cap.
(Figure 8-11, (1))
on a
cooling system tester.
Figure 8-11
2. Apply 10.8 - 14.8 PSI (75 - 105 kPa; 0.75 - 1.05
kgf/cm²) to the radiator cap. The radiator cap
relief valve must open within the specified
range.
