Circuit/System Description
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Chevrolet Suburban 3500 HD. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
For an overview of the component/system, refer to Cooling System Description and Operation
| Circuit | Description |
|---|---|
| Signal | The control module input circuit has an internal resistance connected to 5 V. |
| Low Reference | Grounded through the control module. |
| Component | Description |
|---|---|
| B34 Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor | The sensor is a 2 wire negative temperature coefficient thermistor. As the temperature of the fluid increases, the resistance of the sensor decreases, varying the voltage on the signal circuit. |
| K20 Engine Control Module | The control module contains a microprocessor used to process input data to control outputs. The control module controls a series of actuators to ensure optimal engine performance. The control module does this by reading values from a variety of sensors, interprets the data and adjusts the engine actuators accordingly. |
