My ECT sensor ( the gizmo under the thermostat) is possibly not working on my 95- 850. The codes read that it is faulty. It is relatively new. In order to get an exchange, I need to PROVE it's bad. I don't want to be embarrassed, so I picked up a multi-meter.
OK...I got a Multimeter. I am electronically ignorant...a moron! The Ohms section has 5 choices: 2000K, 200k, 20k,2000, 200. What do I set it on for testing the ECT sensor? What am looking for? A simple explanation would be helpful...make believe you are talking to a 5 year old...an not a bright one!!!
