⁽¹⁾	Check sensor voltage using New Generation Star (49-T088-0A0) scan tool connected to Data Link Connector (DLC) 2. DLC is located under left side of instrument panel, right of steering column.

⁽²⁾	Measure resistance between cylinder head temperature sensor terminals. See Fig 1 or Fig 2 .

⁽³⁾	At this temperature, there is a voltage overlap zone where it is possible to have either a cold end (low voltage) or hot end (high voltage) reading at the same temperature. Either voltage specification listed is correct.

When to See a Mechanic

Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:

• You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
• Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
• The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
• You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
• You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
