Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Sensor - Transit

The ECT sensor is located on the upper coolant inlet housing. The ECT sensor measures the temperature of the engine coolant and provides a feedback signal to the PCM. The PCM uses the ECT sensor input for cooling fan control, EGR flow, fuel quantity, and injection timing calculations.
