Electronic temperature sensors are basically a transducer which convert the heat energy to equivalent voltage . they are thermocouple and also some heat sensing device are available which change their electronic parameter when temperature change those are used in vehicle and aircraft for temperature controlling and cooling.
electronic temperature control
The ECT (Electronic Coolant Temperature) sensor is located under the intake manifold on the driver's side on a 1995 Taurus SHO 3.2 liter. It is on the cylinder head.
.They have temperature sensors inside round-tipped probes.The sensor is connected to a container housing the central processing unit.information gathered by the sensor is then shown on a display screen. Some electronic models have.other features.
It is possible that the outside temperature sensor is defective. As a result the heat only works at certain electronic temperature control settings.
That depends entirely on the calibration of the sensor and the display. The actual engine temperature is controlled by the thermostat.
one way is to use RTD sensor put inside the motor windings. The RTD sensor is connected to an electronic thermal overload relay. This type of relay can provide running temperature of the motor, on the electronic thermal over load relay display panel. RTD sensor is a wire wound resistor that changes resistance depending on the temperature

A 1996 Plymouth Breeze that starts and runs until it warms up, but then stalls might have a problem with a temperature sensor. The sensor is telling the computer that the temperature is too high for the engine to operate safely. Check the Electronic Temperature Sensor or the Manifold Pressure Sensor (MAP).
the coolant temp sensor( cts) reads the temp of the engine and adjust the fuel air mixture depending on the temp. if its cold out the sensor will adjust for more fuel to ease the start of the engine. ADDITIONAL: The Coolant Temperature Sensor measures the temp of the coolant, not the engine. The sensor controls the thermo fans on/off. depending upon temperature. The actual engine temperature sensor is on top of the engine and does not control the fans. If the fans do not switch on at any temperature, disconnect the 2 wire connector from the sensor (Usually at the bottom of the radiator) If fans start up with connector disconnected, replace the sensor.
No bro, water temp sensor is mostly use out of copper or aluminum where they get heated and sends the temperature to an electronic unit, oil press sensor is a sensor having a ball joint and a unit inside to monitor the amount of pressure. when more pressure produce the ball joint will move to a certain level depending on the pressure, and this readings will send to a electronic reading such as gauges
The Ambient air temperature is monitored by the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) through ambient temperature messages received from the Body Control Module (BCM) over the Programmable Communications Interface (PCI) data bus network. The BCM receives a hard wired input from the ambient temperature sensor. The ambient temperature sensor is a variable resistor mounted to a bracket that is secured with a screw to the right side of the headlamp mounting module grille opening, behind the radiator grille and in front of the engine compartment. The ambient temperature sensor cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if faulty or damaged, it must be replaced.OPERATIONThe ambient temperature sensor is a variable resistor that operates on a five-volt reference signal sent to it by the BCM. The resistance in the sensor changes as temperature changes, changing the temperature sensor signal circuit voltage to the BCM. Based upon the resistance in the sensor, the BCM senses a specific voltage on the temperature sensor signal circuit, which it is programmed to correspond to a specific temperature. The BCM then sends the proper ambient temperature messages to the EVIC over the PCI data bus.The temperature function is supported by the ambient temperature sensor, a wiring circuit, the Body Control Module (BCM), the Programmable Communications Interface (PCI) data bus, and a portion of the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) module. If any portion of the ambient temperature sensor circuit fails, the BCM will self-diagnose the circuit. A temperature reading of 130° F will appear in the EVIC display in place of the temperature when the sensor circuit is shorted. A temperature reading of -40° F will appear in the EVIC display in place of the temperature when the sensor circuit is open.
The mk.2 (A2) Golf GTI is not fitted with an Inlet Air Temperature sensor. 8 and 16 valve models with K-Jetronic injection (except Californian models) have no electronic sensors as the injection system is completely mechanical. 8 valve models with Digifant electronic fuel injection utilise a only vane-type air flow meter and a coolant temperature sensor to control the fuel injection duration, no other sensors required. There is an ambient air temperature sensor but this purely for the temperature function on the multi-function display (MFA). - SD
