Coolant Temperature Sensor/Switch (For Computer): Description and Operation

PURPOSE

By measuring the amount of resistance at the sensor, the Engine Control Module (ECM) can adjust the length of injector opening time required by
the engine.

OPERATION

As water temperature increases, sensor resistance decreases. The ECM receives sensor information as resistance to ground.  Water temperature
information is used to determine proper fuel delivery.
