RAM 1500 Van V6-239 3.9L Magnum (1995)
Coolant Temperature Sensor/Switch (For Computer): Description and Operation
The engine coolant temperature sensor provides an input to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) on circuit K2. From circuit K2, the engine coolant
temperature sensor draws up to 5 volts from the PCM. The sensor is a variable resistor. As engine coolant temperature changes, the resistance in the
sensor changes, causing a change in current draw. The K2 circuit connects to cavity 2 of the PCM.
The PCM provides a ground for the engine coolant temperature sensor signal (circuit K2) through circuit K4. Circuit K4 connects to cavity 4 of the PCM
connector.
