The SN of the engine is OT302190. Model No 1F90412YD.

I am having a problem with a continuous alarm once it decides to go off. It can be reset and off I go again for another few minutes, then the alarm goes again. I have had the water channels flushed out and dont think there is a blockage. Replaced the poppet valve and the thermocouple.

So I took the thermo sensor (Pt No 804295T) into work and tested it to see what happens when temperature is increased.

At 78.5 degrees C the sensor resistance was 317ohms
@80 it was 311
@85 it was 260
@87 it was 250
@89 it was 240
@90 it was 235........alarm setting
@91 it was 231
@92 it was 226

Does anyone know if this is the correct characteristics for the thermo sensor. The readings appear fairly consistent going through the temp range.

Thanks
 
The characteristics of the thermo sensor (Pt No 804295T) appear consistent as the temperature increases. So unfortunately, it is much better to contact the manufacturer for precise specifications.
