Coolant Sensor

A variable resistance thermistor that changes resistance as the engine’s coolant temperature changes. The sensor’s output is monitored by the engine computer to regulate various ignition, fuel and emission control functions, and to turn the radiator-cooling fan on and off as needed. In the PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient) type of sensor, ohms go up with temperature. In the more common NTC (Negative Temperature Coefficient) type, resistance goes down as heat goes up
