1996 honda accord lx water temp gauge sensor

• 2022-08-15

The 1996 honda accord lx water temp gauge sensor shall be well sealed to prevent water leakage and sensor failure. Do not ground the wire between the water temperature gauge and the sensor for fire test, so as to avoid burning out due to overheating of the heating coil. If the water temperature gauge and sensor of the vehicle have been matched and damaged, the water temperature indicator or sensor of other models cannot be installed, and a new part of the same model should be replaced. Inspection of internal resistance of water temperature indicator. Check the resistance of the heating coil with the ohm gear of the multimeter. The value should be (36.6 + 1) Ω . If the measurement result does not meet the requirements, replace it with a new meter .

If the water temperature sensor of the 1996 honda accord lx is broken , there will be symptoms such as the pointer of the water temperature gauge reaches the maximum , the pointer will not move , the acceleration is weak, the cold start is difficult , or the water temperature cannot rise . When similar symptoms occur, you should go to the maintenance shop for maintenance as soon as possible . The automobile water temperature sensor is installed on the water jacket of the cylinder head and directly contacts with the cold water to directly measure the temperature of the engine cooling water . If the water temp sensor fails, the engine ECU will not detect the signal of the water temp sensor . At this time , in order to protect the engine , a replacement value of the water temperature will be input , which will lead to abnormal water temperature and abnormal engine operation .

The 1996 honda accord lx water temp sensor is a semiconductor thermistor. The resistance is larger when the temperature is low, and the temperature is smaller when the temperature is high. The detection method of the water temperature sensor is to use a multimeter to detect. When the water temperature sensor is heated by an electric blower, the heating resistance will become smaller under normal conditions. If it does not become smaller, the water temperature sensor is faulty . The most common cause of water temperature sensor failure is poor contact, and the less common cause is open circuit and short circuit.
