I was asking about the level sensor, and you were saying things about the temperature sensor? Please pay more attention to other people question. Thanks, Sapote. I explained the coolant sensor. Please pay more attention to people explanations.
Posts 8, My Cars Yes. Originally Posted by Critter7r. Look Critter, What sort of coolant sensor are you talking about? Is it for sensing the chemistry of the liquid? There are only two kind of sensors that related with coolant: level sensor and temperature sensor.
So please be more clear about what you want to say. No body could read your mind if you keep saying coolant sensor. Please be helpful and not wasting other people times. I'll try to explain it better The coolant sensor is a temperature sensor with a heating element attached. The heating element heats itslef up to a temperature above the normal range of engine coolant for reference, we'll call it degrees, because I don't know the exact temp. Then it shuts off the power to the heating element and waits to see how long it takes the heating element to cool down to where it's within the normal range of coolant.
As long as the heating element cools down within the prescribed amount of time, the car knows the coolant level is ok i. The reason this works, is because when the coolant is below the level of the sensor, and there isn't any coolant around the pocket that the sensor resides in, the temperature inside that little pocket won't cool down within the prescribed amount of time and your coolant light will come on.

Signs the coolant level sensor needs to be replaced include: Coolant light is on but the reservoir tank is full The coolant level is low but there are no warning lights on your dashboard The coolant level sensor is an important piece to making sure the overall function of your engine is running smoothly.

Typical Coolant Level Sensor Applications:. Featured Articles. Read More. In a sinking configuration, current passes through the load first, through the output switch of the sensor second and lastly to ground.
City buses all over the world need to operate in all conditions: hot, cold, dry, wet, rain, snow, sleet, ice, etc. Featured Coolant Level Sensors. CAP Capacitive Level Sensor CAP Series Capacitive Level Sensor is compact, low-maintenance and highly-durable sensor that tolerates coating, can be mounted in any position and is compatible with coolants making it the ideal OEM solution for power generation equipment, If you have ever found your vehicle missing coolant with no visible leak on the ground or on or around your cooling system, the problem could be a worn out radiator cap, which allows coolant to actually escape while you're driving.
Is coolant and antifreeze the same? Antifreeze is commonly used as one of the components of a coolant mixture — coolant is generally a split between antifreeze and water. Antifreeze specifically the ethylene glycol, which is its main ingredient is used to lower the freezing point of the liquid that circulates around the engine of a vehicle.
How do I know if I need a coolant flush? Other signs that an immediate radiator flush is necessary includes coolant leaking underneath your car, grinding or knocking engine noise, visible debris in your coolant and steam or an odd smell rising from your hood. Does the coolant temp sensor control the fan? The temperature is then sent to the on-board control system. As the control system receives the temperature from the CTS, it may trigger the cooling fan to either shut off or turn on.
How much is a coolant sensor? Estimate does not include taxes and fees. Why is my coolant light on when it's full? Your coolant light will come on when the sensor senses an incorrect change in the temperature in your system. Typically the sensor, which monitors the coolant temperature, knows how to adjust to varying temperatures depending up the status of your car; running, warming up, or cold.
How does a low coolant sensor work?
