FC Thermistor diagnostic step - displays

From Tech Sheet W15704751, p.43:

1.Check wires and connectors. Disconnect power or unplug product. Check resistance given in the diagram on page 1.

2.Disconnect the sensor and measure resistance at the sensor body. Expected: 10 kΩ to 12 kΩ at 77°F (25°C).

3.Check the sensor harness for opens and shorts. Back-probe the sensor pins at the control board connector; a reading outside 5 kΩ to 50 kΩ indicates a failed sensor.
