NOTE: Prior to taking resistance readings with a digital
multi meter, short the meter test leads together. The me-
ter will display a small resistance value (usually 0.5
ohms or less). This resistance is due to the internal re-
sistance of the meter and test leads. Subtract this value
from from the measured value of the component you are
testing.

3.
Check resistance of the sender with a multimeter
(ohms setting) as the temperature increases.
A. The meter should indicate from 54 to 78 ohms at
200
oF (93.3oC).

B. Replace sender if specification is not met.
Install sender to the water flange.
