Datsun 1200 comes with a full temperature gauge in the Cluster Gauge, controlled electrically by the Thermal Transmitter (sender) that is screwed into the cylinder head.

Contents

Instrument Panel Gauge

The temperature gauge is part of the Cluster Gauge
26218.jpgAlbum 26218

Also see:
* Water Temperature Gauge in Instruments and Controls
* Radiator, section Temperature

Dash gauge. It is not unusual with any 10-year old stock radiator for the temperature to rise during summer. If you have this, don't panic. The engine can run all day close to the "H" mark. Just don't let it go over that.

Normal Temperature
19604.jpgAlbum 19604

According to Owner's Manual: Water Temperature Gauge, this is the normal range.

Wiring

Yellow/White wire connects to the Sender near the front of the cylinder head.
8122.jpgAlbum 8122

This YW wire goes straight to the Cluster Gauge connector. See: Instrument Panel Wiring.

Regulator

The coolant/water temperature gauge incorporates a voltage regulator, which controls both fuel and water gauges.

  • If both the water and fuel gauges are off, suspect the regulator
  • If only one gauge is incorrect, suspect a bad connection, usually at the sender
See:  Fuel Gauge Wiring
See:  Temperature Gauge Wiring

Troubleshooting

First, clean the connections of the wire to the thermal transmitter (engine temp sensor).
15170.jpgAlbum 15170
Yellow wire just about hose clamp
Remove the wire and clean the connector. Replace. Make sure the wire fits tight.

  • If both fuel and temperature gauges do not work at all, the fuse is likely burnt out. Inspect the fuse. If the fuse is good, the instrument panel voltage regulator may be bad
  • If both fuel gauge and temperature gauge read incorrectly (high or low) or fluctuate, the problem is likely the shared instrument panel voltage regulator. But first check the wiring connections. They may be loose or corroded.
  • If gauge reads MAX hot with ignition OFF, gauge is defective.
  • If gauge reads MAX hot with ignition ON, but cold with ignition OFF, transmitter is bad
  • Ground sensor wire at engine. If gauge fluctuates, gauge is bad


Accuracy Test

  • Buy a 20-ohm resistor at Radio Shack or other electronics store.
  1. At the engine, locate the thermal transmitter:
  2. Pull the wire off the transmitter and put a 20-ohm resistor from the wire to earth/ground
  3. Turn IGN switch to "ON". Gauge should read about halfway (straight up and down).
