Coolant Temp Sensor Readings?

Testing the coolant temp sensor due to a code it threw on a 99VE w/156k on it. Garage was like 20F and the cold reading was 5.4k ohms. Haynes says it should be between 2-3k at 68 F, so is this in line with factory readings or do I have a problem that would indicate replacement? Will test it with a warm engine later today when I get home from work.

thanks in advance

in my opinion - I dont think it would hurt to in fact change the coolant temp sensor/coolant temp switch, unless its ridiculously expensive or money is tight.

just my 2 cents
