Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Sensor

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Ford Pickup. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor detects temperature of engine coolant and supplies the information to the PCM. The ECT sensor is used to control TCC operation. The ECT is installed in the heater outlet fitting or cooling passage on the engine. For engine control applications, the ECT signal is used to modify ignition timing, EGR flow and air-to-fuel ratio as a function of engine coolant temperature.
