How do you test the coolant temperature sensor valve on 97 Toyota Camry LE 2.2L 4cyl?
take resistance reading between the leads
What is the correct way to check a coolant temperature sensor?
To check a coolant temperature sensor, first, ensure the engine is off and cool. Disconnect the sensor's electrical connector, and use a multimeter to measure the resistance across the sensor terminals; compare this reading to the manufacturer's specifications for temperature vs. resistance. Additionally, you can test the sensor at different temperatures by submerging it in water at various temperatures and checking if the resistance changes accordingly. If the readings are out of spec, the sensor may need to be replaced.

high resistance coolant temperature sensor, is it overheating,air in coolant pipe at sensor, or bad sensor,
How coolant level sensor works?
A Coolant Level Sensor is like a multimeter which measures resistance of a certain amount of water. Water has conductive minerals in it therefore conducts electricity. A certain amount of water has a certain resistance to electricity. Fixing this voltage at, for clarity's sake, 12.0v, we can change the resistance of the conductor carrying this 12v by adding more water (and the minerals which conduct in it), or taking water away. like a fuel guage, At a certain resistance, the sensor will give off a certain reading. The fuel guage uses the change in this reading to move a needle, the coolant temp sensor uses this reading to trigger events in the cars ECU (Electronic Control Unit) or BCM (Body Control Module). The ECU or BCM will then light the dashboard warning for the Coolant Low Warning and log A DEC (Diagnostic Error Code) and probably also flag the CHECK ENGINE LIGHT on your dash. When the coolant is topped up again, the coolant sensor sends a different signal as it sees a different resistance, and turns off the dash light(s). Hope this helps!
Why does the needle on the coolant temperature gauge of a 1995 Saturn SL stay on the C?
The guage on the dash uses the ONE wire sensor... This is located in the block near the drivers side. Eric First check to see if you have coolant in the radiator. If there is no coolant you will not get any reading from the temperature sensor. If there is coolant then change the temperature sensor.
What is diagnostic code P0118 for Dodge Caravan?
Engine Coolant Temperature Circuit High Input The engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor is a thermistor screwed into a coolant passage in the cylinder head. Sensor resistance is high when coolant temperature is low and resistance drops when coolant temperature increases. The powertrain control module (PCM) provides a 5 volt reference and a ground to the sensor. The PCM monitors voltage drop to determine coolant temperature. If the ECT reads less than freezing temp. when engine has been running for more than a few minutes, the PCM determines a circuit fault and sets this code. Or if the PCM determines the sensor resistance is out of specs, this code is set.
Can a coolant temp sensor on a 95 Jeep Cherokee go bad and send a false reading?
Yes, that is a possibility. A sensor can fail in many ways.
1988 camaro 2.8 were is the fan temp sensor located?
There is not a separate cooling fan sensor, it controlled by the ECM which get it's reading from the ECT (engine coolant temp sensor)
2000 Ford Escort ZX2 temperature gauge gets no reading Replaced temperature sensor radiator full of coolant Any Ideas?
Be careful there is a temperature coolant switch mounted next to the thermostat housing. I thought this was the sensor and replaced it by mistake. There is another sensor.
How can you check crank sensor with a omhmeter?
To check a crankshaft position sensor with an ohmmeter, first disconnect the sensor's electrical connector to prevent any interference. Set the ohmmeter to the resistance (ohm) setting and measure the resistance across the sensor's terminals. Compare the reading to the manufacturer's specifications; a significantly higher or lower resistance indicates a faulty sensor. If the resistance is within the specified range, the sensor is likely functioning properly.
