Engine Coolant Temperature Gauge: Description and Operation
With Conventional Instrument Cluster

ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE GAUGE 

1. The magnetic engine coolant temperature gauge consists of three primary coils, one of which is wound at a 90-degree angle to the other two. The

coils form a magnetic field which varies in direction according to the variable resistance of the Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor, which
is connected between two of them.

CAUTION:  Do not remove pointers; they cannot be recalibrated.

 

2. A primary magnet, to which a shaft and pointer are attached, rotates to align to this primary field, resulting in pointer position. The bobbin/coil

assembly is pressed into a metal housing which has two holes for dial mounting.

3. There is no adjustment, calibration, or maintenance required for engine coolant temperature gauge.
