CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION:
The Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor uses a thermistor to control the signal
voltage to the ECM. The ECM applies 5 volts on CKT 410 to the sensor. When the engine
coolant is cold, the sensor (thermistor) resistance is high. As the engine coolant warms up,
the sensor resistance becomes less. see engine coolant temperature sensor chart under
“Diagnostic Aids.” At normal operating temperature 160°F-180°F (71°C-82°C), the voltage
will measure about 1.5-2.0 volts.
