temp gauge don't read

[bubbada]

vt calais ign on, temp gauge dont read anything above the bottom mark and the high speed fans are running while ign on (aircon is not on) i've tried tests from this post

fans are working in the tests but hav'nt tried 68ohm resistor across the temp sensor connector but have tried a piece of wire though in place, not a flinch from the temp gauge.

help please.

a piece of wire wont have the resistance needed to do that test on the connector so go to jaycar or the likes and pick up that resistor (50 cents lol) to test.

if u dont have one while ur at jaycar get urself a multimeter ($20, always comes in handy) so u can test the sensor at 100*.

might be your ABS module unplug and see if the problem stops

Umm abs? please just replace the coolant temp sensor for 26 bucks and let us know...

well it seems to be the abs module after all because i first test with the resistor and nothing happened so me mate disconnected the abs module then tried again, yes now it climbed all the way up on the gauge. cool

can i run around with the abs module disconnected for a while, without brakes locking up? or is that a myth?
