Intermotor Water/Coolant Temperature Sensor

A coolant temperature sensor (CTS) (also known as an ECT sensor or ECTS (engine coolant temperature sensor) is used to measure the temperature of the coolant/antifreeze mix in the cooling system, giving an indication of how much heat the engine is giving off. The sensor works with the vehicle’s ECU, continually monitoring the coolant temperature to make sure the engine is running at the optimum temperature.

Coolant temperature sensors can develop faults over time. A faulty sensor can lead to a range of problems developing, including overheating and poor engine performance. That’s why it’s important to know how to spot the signs of a faulty or failing temperature sensor, before it can cause further problems which could prove more expensive to fix.

- Irregular reading of the dashboard gauge (should be 88-90°C when the engine is warmed up)
- Overheating engine (highlighted by dashboard gauge)
- Check Engine Light alert on dashboard
- Rough engine sound while idling
- Limited performance (caused by ECU miscalculating fuel rich mixture)
- Poor fuel economy
