Coolant Temp Sensor Video
The engine in your car, truck, or SUV generates heat during operation. The coolant temperature sensor (CTS) helps monitor engine temperature and sends information to the vehicle’s computer and dashboard.
If the sensor detects a temperature concern, it may trigger a warning light or affect how the engine operates. Like many sensors, the coolant temperature sensor does not have a set service interval and is typically replaced if it fails.
If the coolant temperature sensor is not working properly, it can affect how the engine manages temperature and performance.
You may notice warning lights, changes in performance, or other drivability concerns. These symptoms can have more than one cause, so proper testing is important.
At Treasure Valley Auto Service in Garden City, ID we can help diagnose these issues. We may begin with an inspection as part of our auto diagnostics service and evaluate related components within the cooling system service.
If your check engine light is on or you suspect a cooling system issue, call 208-385-0339 today.
