Circuit Description
The engine coolant temperature sensor is used by the electronic control module (ECM) to monitor the engine coolant temperature. The ECM monitors the voltage on the signal pin and converts this to a temperature value. The engine coolant temperature value is used by the ECM for the engine protection system, and engine emissions control.
Component Location
The engine coolant temperature sensor is located on the thermostat housing. Refer to Procedure 100-002 for a detailed component location view.

Before troubleshooting Fault Code 144, check for multiple faults.
The engine coolant temperature sensor shares return wires in the engine harness with other sensors. An open return can cause multiple fault codes to be active.
Possible causes of this fault code include:
- Open return circuit in the harness, connectors, or sensor.
- Open signal circuit or shorted to a voltage source.
