The throttle body is controlled by a user-adjustable analog computer that is fed data by a throttle position sensor installed on the throttle body, an engine coolant temperature sensor, a tach ...

This device can detect temperatures up to 140 degrees Celsius. The temperature sensor is mounted to the engine using Arctic Alumina Silver paste. The paste acts as a glue, holding the sensor in place.

If it fails, whether due to a burned-out motor, faulty relay, or a bad engine temperature sensor, the system loses its ability to cool effectively. Another likely culprit is the water pump.

The engine coolant temperature sensor may be cracked. This could cause the enging coolant temperature warning light to come on inadvertently and in rare cases may cause engine operating faults.

A diagnostic test can tell if the temp sensor is working or not, but obviously cannot tell if it is giving the correct temperature readings. How could know that without an entirely separate coolant ...

Some 2011 and later Kia vehicles with 6-speed automatics (complete application list below) may turn on the check engine light and store one or more of the following trouble codes in computer memory: ...

Current efforts include combining the sensor technology with other high-temperature electronics to produce smart sensors for distributed engine controls, capacitive transducer elements with increased ...
