Ok, When changing my tranny I broke the sending unit for the temperature gauge... Ok, easy fix... got a new sensor, Done. Now, since the new sensor has been in the car, the gauge tends to read pretty high (almost 3/4). I tested the sensor and compared the readings to the manual, the sensor reads about 580ohms with a cold motor, the manual says it should read between 2200 and 2700ohms... just a little difference if you ask me! Ok, so last night I went to autozone, had them pull another sensor and I tested that one as well... same reading... 580ohms roughly... still WAY off.

I need someone with an ohm meter to test their sensor. Its right on the front of the motor, behind where the top radiator hose meets the motor, its the small sensor with a one wire connection. I need an ohm reading from the engine block to the terminal of the sensor (when your engine is COLD).

Will add a picture shortly showing which sensor im referring to.

Thanks!

 

 

it should read a resistance of 2200 to 2700 ohms while completely cold. and while norm running temp should be 280 to 350.

 

thats just directly from the book... I need an actual reading from a car.

 

Sounds like you have a grounding or voltage problem. Check the wiring.

 

Nah, no grounding issues... the sensors are wrong... they're all like that it seems. Since it seems no one here owns an ohm meter, i'll have to order one through honda and see what that one reads.

 

buy oem.. btw ur car has the symptoms of HONDA RUST. your car has teh aidz....

 

Thats what upstate NY will do to a car... sucks... next car I buy is comming from the south!
