Component Details:
The temperature sensing circuit uses Thermistor that is sensitive to change in temperature. It has basically the NTC
(Negative Temperature Coefficient) means as the temperature increases, the resistance decreases. Based on the Engine
coolant temperature, EMS controls the Fuel Injection and cooling fan operation. Engine coolant temperature information
will also be displayed on the Instrument cluster.
