Testing 6658818 coolant temperature sender

[wateka]

To test my temperature sender, my version of the 853 service manual (see picture) only had room temperature ohm values, but courtesy of this post from gladiator175 I saw that other models use Faria (or equivalent) senders. Google led me to the Faria reference table, below. The Bobcat sender is the American version.

My sender turned out to be fine and tested in line with the Faria table.

FWIW, the 853 manual has the ohms increasing as the temperature increases from 70°F to 80°F. That is the opposite of the way the sender actually operates.
