John;
        The best way to check the TEMPII sensor is with a digital ohm
meter. Take the measument first thing in the morning before the vehicle
is started. Note the ambient temperature i.e. the engine temperature
should have equalized. Remove the connector from the ECU and measure
across the appropriate pins(Digijet=2&7, Digifant=6&10). Compare to graph
in Bentley manual.

        Don't have a Bentley manual? Shame on you but all is not lost.
The TempI sensor should have the same resistance as the TempII if they
are at the same temperature. The pins at the ECU connector are 14&6 for
Digijet and 6&9 for Digifant.

        Digijet Digifant
TEMPI   14&6    6&9
TEMPII  2&7     6&10

Drive Safely & Good Luck
