Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor Circuit
|
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 exhaust side of the engine near the thermostat housing. Refer to Procedure 100-002 for a detailed component location view.
