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

Fig. 12 Water temperature sensor

    

The water temperature sensor, incorporated into the thermostat housing, Fig. 12, monitors change in cooling water temperature and transmits a
signal for the fuel enrichment to change the pulse duration during warm-up.

    

The temperature sensing unit employs a thermistor which is very sensitive in the low temperature range.

    

The electrical resistance of the thermistor decreases in response to the rise in water temperature.
