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