Okay, the easiest way to check this is to remove the connector and test the voltage at the sensor itself.
Put the red lead in one terminal and the black lead in the other. You should have 5 volts.

DL: Cylinder Head Temperature (CHT) Sensor
DL: Introduction See: Computers and Control Systems > Diagnostic Trouble Code Tests and Associated Procedures > DL: Cylinder Head Temperature (CHT) Sensor - Introduction
DL1 CHECK FOR DTCS
Are DTCs P0116, P0119, P0125, P0128, P017C, P017D, P017E, P101F, P1021, P1022, P1023, P1024, P1025, P1026, P1285, P1288, P1289, P128A, or P1290 present?
Yes
GO to DL2
No
For temperature warning indicator lamp or gauge (applications with CHT sensor only) symptom, GO to DL12
.
For all others, RETURN to Section 3 See: Computers and Control Systems > Diagnostic Trouble Code Tests and Associated Procedures > SECTION 3: Symptom Charts
Symptom Charts for further direction.
DL2 CHECK THE COOLING SYSTEM
Warning: to avoid personal injury do not unscrew the coolant pressure relief cap while the engine is operating or hot. The cooling system is under pressure. Steam and hot liquid can come out forcefully when the cap is loosened slightly. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury
.
Note:DTC P0125 or P0128 indicates the engine coolant temperature has not achieved the required engine operation temperature level, since start-up within a specified amount of time.
Check the cooling system for:
correct coolant level
internal or external coolant leaks
blockage of the radiator
cooling fan operation
Is the cooling system OK?
Yes
For DTCs P0125 or P0128, GO to DL11
.
For all others, GO to DL3
.
No
REFER to the Workshop Manual Section 303-03, Engine Cooling to diagnose a cooling system concern.
REPAIR as necessary.
CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
DL3 CHECK THE RESISTANCE OF THE CHT SENSOR WITH THE ENGINE OFF
Note:Refer to the chart at the beginning of this test for the resistance specifications.
Ignition OFF.
For the CHT2 sensor,
CHT2 Sensor connector disconnected.
Measure the resistance between:

For all others,
CHT Sensor connector disconnected.
Measure the resistance between:

Is the resistance within specification?
Yes
GO to DL4
.
No
INSTALL a new CHT sensor.
