Component Description
ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE (ECT) SENSOR
The engine coolant temperature sensor is used to detect the engine
coolant temperature. The sensor modifies a voltage signal from the
ECM. The modified signal returns to the ECM as the engine cool-
ant temperature input. The sensor comprises a thermistor which is
sensitive to the change in temperature. The electrical resistance of
the thermistor decreases as temperature increases.

nal and Full-accelerator switch signal and sends these signals to
the ECM. The ECM will then determine engine idle conditions.
