What should I do if my temp gauge is not working?
Disconnect instrument cluster harness connector C237. Measure resistance between C237 pin No. 9 (Red/White wire) and pin No. 5 (Pink/Orange wire). If resistance is less than 5 ohms, repair/replace instrument cluster. If resistance is greater than 5 ohms, repair open Red/White or Pink/Orange wire.

What should I do if my temperature gauge reads 50 ohms?
If the sensor reads 30-50 Ohms when the engine is hot then there may be a problem with the wiring back to the gauge or with the gauge itself. Make sure the engine is turned OFF and that the vehicle’s ignition key is in your pocket when you test the sensor. Also don’t burn yourself on the engine block when the engine is hot Was this answer helpful?

What should I do if my engine temperature gauge keeps going cold?
Clean and spray electronic cleaner in the connector at the sensor, the engine control unit connector and the cluster’s connector. If corrosion appears, there might be a problem with the connectors’ sealings, and you may have to take a look at these to make a permanent repair or replace them to avoid future problems.
