Engine Coolant Temperature 1 Sensor Circuit


Circuit Description


The engine coolant temperature 1 sensor is used by the engine control module (ECM) to monitor the engine coolant temperature. The ECM monitors the voltage on the signal pin and converts this to a temperature value. The engine coolant temperature value is used by the ECM for the engine protection system and for engine emissions control.


Component Location


The engine coolant temperature 1 sensor is located on the thermostat housing. Use the following procedure for a detailed component location view. Refer to

Procedure 100-002 in Section E.

Before troubleshooting Fault Code 144, check for multiple faults.


The engine coolant temperature 1 sensor shares return wires in the engine harness with other sensors. An open return can cause multiple fault codes to be active.


Possible causes of this fault code include:


  • Open return circuit in the harness, connectors, or sensor

  • Open signal circuit or shorted to a voltage source.
