Coolant Temperature Gauge

Coolant temperature gauge is operated by 2 coils, with battery voltage applied to each coil. One coil is grounded directly. The other coil is grounded through the Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor. As resistance of ECT sensor changes with temperature, current to temperature gauge changes, which moves pointer of gauge.
