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

Coolant Temperature Sensor

PURPOSE

Sensor is input device by which EFI ECM monitors engine coolant temperature.

OPERATION

The sensor is a thermistor device whose resistance changes in relation to temperature.  Resistance changes are interpreted by the ECM as engine
temperature fluctuations.  When temperatures are within ECM programmed parameters, air/fuel ratio will be enriched during cold start and warm-up by
increasing injector pulse width ("ON" time).

Temperature / resistance relationship is as follows:
