Re: [DML] Testing Lambda thermal switch



Thanks, Tom, and also, John, for doing some tests.  John, I suspect 
you were testing the switch above 59 degrees.  Tom, it looks like I 
show an open circuit at 59 deg, testing between pin #7 in the 
connector and ground, so not sure if the switch is bad, or perhaps I 
have an open wire.  Is there another location where I can test this 
circuit?

When I get a cold morning below 59 degrees, I'll start the car.  
What symptoms would appear if this switch was bad?  Obviously, it 
looks like I don't need to worry about it for the summer.

Thanks,

Paul
