Sensor, Coolant Temperature

GLL1005318Courtesy of VOLVO CARS CORPORATION

The sensor is an NTC resistor (Negative Temperature Coefficient) which is powered with 5 V by the engine control module (ECM). Feedback is an analogue 5 V signal where the voltage level corresponds to a certain temperature. The resistance depends on the temperature according to the following:

Temperature  Resistance 
-20 °C 15 kΩ
+/-0 °C 5.7 kΩ
90 °C 240 Ω
110 °C 142 kΩ
