TM 5-6115-593-12TO 35C2-3-463-1Figure 4-54. Coolant Temperature TransmitterObserve ohmmeter as temperatureincreases. If the transmitter is functioningproperly, the resistance should read 143±14 5 ohms at 120°G (49°C).(4) The transmitter is not repairable. If it doesnot indicate a resistance within the aboverange, it should be replaced.c.Replacement.(1) Screw temperature transmitter into watermanifold.(2) Connect wire with washers and nut.(3) Plug drain and close draincock.(4) Fill radiator with coolant in accordance withtable 4-1.4-82. TEMPERATURE SWITCH. (See figure 4-40.)The temperature switch senses engine coolanttemperature. When coolant exceeds 217 ± 3°F (103 ±2°C), the normally closed contacts open and thenormally open contacts close. This action results inautomatic shutdown of engine operation at coolanttemperatures exceeding 217 ± 3°F (103 ± 2°C).a.Inspection. Inspect switch for corrosion andleakage, and ensure that the electricalconnector is secure. The switch is notrepairable and replacement is necessary when itfails to operate. If the engine is not overheatingand the units shuts down as though it were, or ifthe engine continues to operate when runninghot, the switch should be removed and tested asa possible cause of trouble.b.Removal.(See figure 4-55.) Loosen connector,pull wiring plug, and unscrew temperatureswitch from water manifold.c.Test.(1) Connect ohmmeter set to Rx1 scale acrossswitch contacts.(2) Suspend switch in a container of antifreeze.Switch should be inserted so that sensingelement is completely immersed butconnector end is out of antifreeze.(3) Heat antifreeze gradually and stir so heat isevenly distributed.(4) Check temperature of antifreeze with areliable thermometer.(5) When antifreeze has reached 214°F (90°C), the switch should open and theohmmeter should read less than 1 ohm.(6) Allow antifreeze to cool. As the temperaturedrops to below 212°F (89°C) the switchshould close and the ohmmeter should readinfinite ohms.(7) The switch is not repairable. If it does notoperate within the above limits it should bereplaced.b.VIBRATION DAMPER AND CRACKSHAFTPULLEY. (See figure 4-40.) The vibrationdamper and crankshaft pulley are mounted onthe front end of the crankshaft. Inspect asfollows:4-120
