Sensors Detailed Applications

The Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor, typically located below the thermostat, plays a crucial role in regulating engine temperature. It provides real-time coolant temperature data to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM), enabling precise adjustments to fuel mixture, ignition timing, and other engine parameters. This sensor’s strategic placement near the thermostat allows for accurate temperature readings … Read more

ECT sensor diagnosis involves testing the Engine Coolant Temperature sensor to ensure accurate temperature readings for optimal engine performance. This process includes voltage and resistance measurements, symptom analysis, and the use of diagnostic tools. Proper diagnosis can identify issues such as incorrect temperature readings, engine overheating, and poor fuel efficiency, leading to timely repairs and … Read more
