Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Sensor

ECT sensor converts coolant temperature to electrical signal for use by ECM/PCM. ECT input is used for fuel injection, idle air and ignition timing control by ECM/PCM. ECM/PCM can not go into closed loop fuel system management until ECT input indicates engine is warm enough.
