Coolant Level Sensor (Gm 3000-D) - Toro Groundsmaster 3000 Service Manual

Coolant Level Sensor
The sensor is located on the degassing box, which is on
the upper left end of the engine. It energizes a red warn­

cuitry to the sensor at the connector using a jumper and
multimeter.

from the pin for the white wire to chassis ground
should be indicated. Turn switch OFF.
C. Check continuity (1 ohm or less) from the pin for
the black wire to chassis ground..
