Go directly to the ect sensor on the block, disconnect the the connector from ect, then place ohmmeter across the sensor to read resistance.

When you remove the connector from the ect you should be looking at 2 pins there, place ohmeter across pins A & B on ect. Resistance is inversely proportional to temperature. Here'* a few temp/resistance specs out of 2001 service manual.
212 degrees=177 ohms
194 degrees=241 ohms
86=2238
77=2796
68=3520
The ECT inputs to the PCM which in turn communicates data to the IP. Hope some of this info is useful.
