Circuit Description

The engine coolant temperature sensor is used to detect engine coolant temperature. The sensor modifies a voltage signal from the ECM. The modified signal returns to the ECM as engine coolant temperature input. The sensor uses a thermistor which is sensitive to changes in temperature. The electrical resistance of the thermistor decreases as temperature increases.
