Engine Coolant and Hydraulic Oil Temperature Senders
The Groundsmaster
Testing
1.Locate temperature sender that is to be tested. Dis- connect wire harness connector from sender.
2.Thoroughly clean area around temperature sender and remove sender.
3.Put sensing end of sender in a container of oil with a thermometer and slowly heat the oil (Fig. 59).
6.Check and fill system (coolant or hydraulic) to proper level.

CAUTION
Handle the hot oil with extreme care to prevent personal injury or fire.
NOTE: Prior to taking resistance readings with a digital multimeter, 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.
4.Check resistance of the sender with a multimeter (ohms setting) as the oil temperature increases.
A.The meter should indicate from 11.6 to 13.5 kilo ohms at 68oF (20oC).
B.The meter should indicate from 2.3 to 2.5 kilo ohms at 140oF (60oC).
C.The meter should indicate from 605 to 669 ohms at 212 oF (100oC).
D.Replace sender if specifications are not met.
5.After allowing the sender to cool, install sender:
A.Install new
B.Install sender into port and torque from 9 to 11
