Stealth R/T Turbo V6-2972cc 3.0L DOHC Turbo (1996)
Coolant Temperature Sensor/Switch (For Computer): Description and Operation
Coolant Temperature Switch
PURPOSE
Allows the "A/C ON" signal to be transmitted to the Engine Control Module (ECM). Used to prevent engine overheating by eliminating A/C
operation.
Air Conditioning Switch And Relay Circuit
OPERATION
When the engine coolant temperature is below 226° F, the bimetal strip inside the switch completes the circuit. This allows the ECM to determine
if conditions are suitable for A/C operation. When the coolant temperature exceeds 239° F, the bimetal strip inside the switch opens circuit. This
prevents the signal from being sent to the ECM.
