Does anyone out there have a chart that reflects the ohms readings of a coolant temperature sensor? It can be called an engine temperature sensor for us old guys. Thanks in advance Dennis

Thank you RDwilkerson. Very well said. Any post either new or 10 years old can be significant to the new owner.

So, my driver information center (DIC) is functioning half way, I think. I start the car, in park, lights off, and I push the information button thinking I will scroll through the features like odometer, trip odometer, miles per gallon etc. Well I don't get any of those functions, BUT when I...
