Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Sensor

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1994 Mercury Sable, 1994 Mercury Cougar, 1994 Lincoln Continental, 1994 Ford Thunderbird, and 1994 Ford Taurus. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

ECT sensor inputs coolant temperature to the PCM. ECT sensor is threaded into heater outlet fitting or coolant passage. The ECT sensor changes resistance in response to coolant temperature. The ECT sensor resistance decreases as coolant temperature increases. On models with an electronic instrument cluster, an additional ECT is used as a coolant temperature indicator.
