Temperature Gauge

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 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 SCP communication network to the instrument cluster. Normal operating temperature is 60°C (140°F) to 120°C (248°F). Redline starts at 121°C (249.8°F).
