1) Remove ECT sensor referring to "Engine Coolant
Temperature (ECT) Sensor Removal and
Installation: ".
2) Immerse temperature sensing part of ECT sensor in
water and measure resistance between sensor
terminal (1) and (2) while heating water gradually.
If measured resistance doesn't show such
characteristic as shown, replace ECT sensor.
