What should the temperature gauge be on a hot engine?
With a hot engine it should measure 30-50 Ohms. If you measure around this value (or definitely not near 140 Ohms) with a cold engine then the unit is faulty and needs to be replaced. A quick test is to disconnect the lead from the sending unit, turn on the ignition and observe the temp. gauge.
How can you tell if your Honda has a hot or cold radiator?
This can be checked by warming the vehicle up until the thermostat is open, driving the vehicle for a few blocks to get some air flowing through it, stop, turn the motor off and feel the radiator with your hand.

How to test the temperature on a Honda?
Not quite certain if my figures are correct , but to test the sending unit, disconnect the single wire black connector and using a DMM (Digital Multimeter – Ohmmeter function) measure the resistance between the sending unit terminal and earth (or ground – the engine block will be earthed).
What happens when a / C is on in a Honda?
If there are cold spots that are obvious, then the radiator is clogged internally. This is a very common symptom for Honda’s. What happens when the A/C is on, is the condenser gets hot and adds more heat for the radiator to dissipate.
