Mazda CX-5 Service & Repair Manual / Engine / Control / Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Sensor

Purpose/Function

Detects the ECT as basic information for mainly determining the fuel injection amount.
Detects the ECT and inputs it to the PCM as an ECT signal.
The ECT sensor No.2 is only used for OBD.

Construction

ECT sensor No.1

Installed to the water outlet case.
A thermistor has been adopted as the detecting element for detecting the ECT.

ECT sensor No.2

Installed on the water pipe.
A thermistor has been adopted as the detecting element for detecting the ECT.

Operation

Inputs the signal, which fluctuates according to the ECT, to the PCM.
