temperature gauge
good morning people,
i wonder if anyone can offer me any advice please? i have a ZT-T diesel and the temp gauge doesn't work, i have looked around the forum for an answer but cant seem to find one. i ran the instrument pod diagnostic and all the gauges and lights work, all apart from the temp gauge. i have tried disconnecting the sensor from the head, and that makes the fans come on, so i assume its the actual gauge at fault. is this something that can be repaired? thanks for reading |

Hi, If you're handy with multimeters,you can test the sensor as itself.
knowing it's a ECT resistor ; some values: 0 degrees=4580 ohms 10 degrees =4350 ohms 20 "" =4016 ohms 100 =936 oms Good luck Mike |

ok, but if the gauge didn't work during test, doesn't that suggest the gauge is at fault?
i shall test the sensor this morning, thank you for the figures |

See if the temperature is displayed in Diagnostic Mode. If it is, the fault lies in the gauge or its connection and not the underlying system/ECU/kbus.
