If you are talking about the water temp switch on the radiator, pull of the wiring plug and bridge the two connection with a paper clip or a small piece of wire.

If the cooling fan works as normal the temp switch is faulty and needs replacing.

I hope this helps.

You can "test " the sensor using a DVOM ( digital volt ohm meter) if you have a manual that has the spec, also helps to have an inferred temperature gun to confirm the temp at the sensor.

How do you fix an oxygen sensor on a 1997 Accord?

The only fix is to replace it. If you are mechanicly inclined, this is a doable deal. Before you replace the sensor you should check the wiring for resistance you can use a volt/ohms meter (vom) and test the continuity of the wiring to the sensor.


How do you test a temp sensor?

Remove from vehicle. Place in a jar of water and heat on the stove with thermometer in the water. Connect a battery and lamp to the terminals.The sensor acts as a switch. See what temperature the lamp lights and compare to spec. If you have an ohmmeter connect it across sensor and note resistance. It should drop dramatically at set temperature.
