Coolant temperature sensor function - GF07.04-P-5026-04M

The NTC resistor integrated in the coolant temperature sensor (B11/4) alters its electrical resistance in line with the coolant temperature.

NTC is the abbreviation for "N  egative T  emperature C  oefficient", which means electrical resistance falls as the temperature increases (hot conductor).

Example:
