Characteristic curve and setpoint values
The electrical voltage at the resistor is dependent on the coolant temperature. A table that specifies the temperature associated with each voltage value is stored in the engine control. This compensates for the non-linear relationship between electrical voltage and temperature.

| Power consumption | 1 mA |
| Response time | 15 s |
| Temperature resolution | ±1 °C |
| Maximum output current | 20 mA |
| Temperature range | -40 °C to 150 °C |
