NOTE:
ECT sensor is used only on manual transmission equipped vehicles.
Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor is used as primary input to Electronic Control system to enable adaptive cooling. This provides a means of providing adequate cooling in severe engine temperature conditions. When ECT is more than 225°F (107°C), fueling rate of engine is modified to provide cooling protection and prevent engine damage due to overheating.
