REMOVAL

• Drain the engine coolant. (#2-18)
• Disconnect the ECT sensor lead wire coupler.
• Place a rag under the ECT sensor and remove the ECT sen-
sor 1.

INSPECTION

• Check the ECT sensor by testing it at the bench as shown in
the figure. Connect the ECT sensor 1 to a circuit tester and
place it in the WATER contained in a pan, which is placed on
a stove.
