HOW TO TEST COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR. Any Car
In this video we will demonstrate how to test coolant temperature sensor on any car. All you are going to need is thermometer and voltmeter to test the temperature sensor.
The coolant temperature sensor will show different om reading at different temperatures. We will include the graph in the video so you can use it to test your temperature sensor.
There is no need to replace a temperature sensor and waste your money when you can just test it for a few minutes and know for sure if it works or it does not.

If you have a scan tool with the ability to read live data, an even easier way to test would be to get to the temperature reading on the scan tool and check the ECT (see if the temperature shown makes sense with how hot the engine should be). If it doesn't: check the ECT connector. When you unplug the connector the temperature on the scan tool should read around -40 F (completely open). Then jumper the two terminals on the connector (power to ground), this should give you a reading of around 250-284 F. This completely tests the circuit of the ECT, completely ruling out any electrical issues. If your two numbers are within the specified ranges: your ECT sensor needs to be replaced. However, if at full open, you have a number significantly more than -40, or at short to power, you have a number significantly less than 250-284: you have an electrical issue.

Hi Jordan. Mate, could I just double-check this with you? I'm in Australia where everything's in CELSIUS not Farenheit. So I do your test above - I unplug my ECT and check the readings you mentioned above with my scan tool (engine OFF, but ignition switched ON - is that right - I didn't want to run the car in case it shat itself!!). Open circuit reads -40 CELSIUS. And when I jumper the two connector pins together, I get +205 CELSIUS. Any thoughts on what that means mate? When I actually run the car and it's warmed up, my usual coolant temperature sits around 85 to 90 CELSIUS, which I presume is good. I love your logical approach, so hoping you might know what this indicates? Thanks very much. Stu.

@@stumu1242 Yeah, those sound like pretty normal temperatures. Bear in mind, certain ECTs have a higher max than others (I.e. some circuits can allow mid/upper 300f - or 200c). The important thing is that you can read a proper open circuit, you’re temps make sense at warm-up, and when you jumper the pins you have a fairly large number. This to me would indicate nothing wrong with the circuit. If you need further testing: I would advise you to take the ECT out of the cooling system and leave it in ambient air-see if the readings match ambient temperature. Likewise, try dipping it in very cool water; see if it drops significantly in temperature. If these things don’t match up, replace sensor. Otherwise, you may not actually be dealing with a bad ECT. Hope this helps.

Hey AutoRepairGuys, I have a 2019 Ford Fiesta 1.0 Ecoboost Engine I noticed it has 2 temperature sensors, the one for coolant and for the cylinder head. I see the cylinder head sensor hanging and cant find where in the cylinder head to put it. I bought this car used and I guess the previous owner thought it had an over heating issue but i notice the P1026 code was because of this sensor which works but is not in its place in the cylinder block. Do you know where it plugs into the cylinder head?

I didn't put it in cold water but I did use the chart you have beside you, measured ambient temperature (temperature in the air), to get the proper ohm reading. The ohm reading can go from a few thousands to tens of thousands, depending on the ambient temperature, so you might need to adjust your ohm reader to reflect some high readings if necessary.

Hello, my car is a fiat bravo 2 2008 1.6 multijet diesel. Since I have it from the last summer the car does not have a stable idle. In the winter that problem was gone. This summer it is here again. I tried a lot of things but nothing is helping. Now I have error codes P01EA and P0487(for EGR). P01EA looks like very generic code but it looks like the ones for engine coolant problems. So I am thinking is it possible for a faulty coolant temperature sensor to cause an unstable idle when the car is warming and hot? For example, maybe the coolant temperature sensor is sending wrong information to the ECU that the car is still cold and the ECU is pushing the wrong air-fuel mixture as if the car is cold? Thanks in advance!

So the sensor can give a faulty reading... When the car is cold (morning start) the scanner gives me a 0°c even the ambient temperature is about 18°c so it's not that cold and when running it barely hit the 60°c .... Before this issue the temperature was stable between 78 and 82 when running. The question is it a faulty sensor or a problem with ECU

Temperature sensor is basically a resistant sensor.. the lower the temperature the higher the resistance, and the higher the temperature the lower the resistance. Once the temperature rise to 90 plus degrees resistance drops down to a certain point where it automatically triggers the fan relay actuators to activate the fan.

Hi thanks for all your videos. I have a problem with my 2009 Honda Odyssey. The radiator fan will not turn on and I have incredible fuel consumption. I already followed this video to verify that both ECTS are ok, I checked all the relays and the fuses are ok, . I checked the ECTS connectors and they are fine. The fans are fine because I made a direct connection with a clip on both the fan relays, it's the only way they turn on. I used a scanner in auto zone and it shows these codes P2185 (Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor 2 Circuit High), P0118 (Engine Coolant Temperature Circuit High), and P0117 (Engine Coolant Temperature Circuit Low). I don't understand why show that, if both ECTs are fine. I don't know what else to check. Any suggestions will be appreciated, thanks.

Although the dashboard temp gauge still works, when I unplug the ECT Sensor this makes no difference to how the car starts/idles. Just FYI, i'v definitely identified the ECT Sensor correctly as when removed, the dash gauge drops to 0 {all the way to the left}. Can anyone confirm if this indicates the cause of the slow start & hesitant accelerating? Thanks.

Haynes Repair Manual says mine should be 5,600 to 6,000 Ohms (6 kiloOhms) when at 50 to 80 degree Fahrenheit or 10-26 Celsius. So not 2 or 3 kOhms like your video. I have a 1992 Chrysler Lebaron 3 Liter. So is this car manual incorrect? Are all Engine Coolant Temperature Sensors to same? I also read on the internet, at normal temp (20 to 25 degree), it can be 2 to 6 kOhms, DEPENDING ON THE MANUFACTURER OR CAR BRAND. Though i found zero info about resistances, when trying to find coolant sensors specs on the internet. My car has rough start, and the gauge shows incorrect, that's why i'm searching... I have a separate sensor for the gauge though...

I already found the answer. 10 degree Celsius is supposed to be 5600 Ohms (5.6 kOhms), 26 degree Celsius shoud be 3 kiloOhms (like i measured), Haynes is confusing about this. Thanks for the video !!!!

The AC in my 97 legacy outback and the cooling fans won’t turn on, causing it to overheat if idle too long. Does this sound like a temp sensor to any of you? Gonna check it out soon

Mine has only 1 terminal, it’s a very old model from a 1980 forklift. How am I supposed to test it?

with only one terminal, it's likely the body of the sensor is ground, which is where you touch the other lead.

So, I have a 3 pronged sensor for my car (Kia Rio) and when I hooked it up the first reading was 2.03. I that normal? I have a code p0118 as well.

You need a coolant temperature sensor. There cheap. There like $20-$30 bucks.

In Sweden, Temperature sensors are being placed inside the house. They will work wirelessly. Is it harmful to health?

This video costed me £20. I got different values and thought the sensor is bad so I bought another one, I put the new one on the car and same problem. I took it out I get same values as the old one :(

the test shown in the video is an ohmage (resistance/continuity) test, by saying 'voltmeter', it suggests you are doing a voltage test. they are two entirely different tests.
