89 B2200 temp sensor
They cost about $35.
Are they really this expensive? This sensor goes to the bottom of the radiator with two wires. I tested it and it is open, no resistance reading. I heated it up with a gas lighter and no change. What is the resistance reading at 35F, 60F and 180F? Any ideas? Thanks for any reply. |

11 views and no replies. C'mon guys, somebody knows about this.
Ok, I only have the Haynes manual and it has no mention about this temp sensor. Maybe somebody has a Factory Service Manual and can look it up for me. Is this just a switch, temp dependent resistor, or a thermocouple? Thanks in advanced. |

Re: 89 B2200 temp sensor
but if i had to guess the ecu uses this sensor for emossion control where as the sesor on the thermostat is only used for the gauge onthe dash.

I found a cheaper one at Advanced. $26
I tested it with my fluke meter. Still confused. New one has neither resitance reading nor millivolt reading. Not even a switch contact that makes when heated. I will install it and see what happens. |

Finally traced the temp sensor function that is located in the bottom of radiator.
It is not a temp sensor, it is just a cold temp switch. The switch makes around 55F and opens around 60F. Tested the switch by dipping in iced water and the switch closed using a digital meter. This cold temp switch activates the PTC heater in the bottom of the carb to prevent the carb from icing up during cold weather start-ups. Just for everybody's info. |
