Temperature Gauge
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Lincoln LS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The cylinder head temperature sensor is hardwired directly to the PCM. The status of the cylinder head temperature is sent from the PCM over the communication network to the instrument cluster. The normal operating temperature is 60° C (140° F) to 120° C (248° F). Redline starts at 121° C (249.8° F).
