Coolant temperature sensor

The temperature of the engine coolant is measured by a sensor which comprises an NTC resistor where the resistance varies in a manner which is inversely proportional to the temperature, as illustrated in the diagram.

The control unit detects the variation in voltage proportional to the current intensity circulating in the sensor.

The sensor should be fitted taking care not to exceed the tightening torque of 15 Nm

15 Nm
