Coolant Temperature Sensor/Switch (For Computer): Testing and Inspection
ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE (ECT) SENSOR
The engine coolant temperature sensor installed in the engine coolant passage of the cylinder head detects the engine coolant temperature and emits
signals to the PCM. This part employs a thermistor which is sensitive to changes in temperature. The electric resistance of the thermistor decreases in
response to a temperature rise (NTC). The PCM determines engine coolant temperature by the sensor output voltage and provides optimum fuel
enrichment when the engine is cold.
