Thermal Transmitter Check
NOTE
Check the resistance between the terminals of thermal transmitter and body ground.
Thermal transmitter — water temp vs resistance
60 °C (140 °F)
ResistanceApprox. 70 – 90 Ω
100 °C (212 °F)
ResistanceApprox. 21 – 24 Ω
Oil Pressure Switch Check
NOTE
Check the continuity between the terminals of oil pressure switch and body ground.
Oil pressure switch — operating threshold
Engine start
Oil pressure kPa (bar, kg/cm², psi)More than 10 – 20 (0.10 – 0.20, 0.1 – 0.2, 1.4 – 2.8)
ContinuityNO
Engine stop
Oil pressure kPa (bar, kg/cm², psi)Less than 10 – 20 (0.10 – 0.20, 0.1 – 0.2, 1.4 – 2.8)
ContinuityYES
Speed Sensor Signal Check
Speed sensor — output voltage check
- 1Remove speed sensor from transmission. Location: refer to "Location of Electrical Units".
- 2Turn speedometer pinion quickly and measure voltage across (a) and (b). Approximately 0.5 V (alternating current, A.C.).
