Generally, no. The basic cooling system is a thermostat, water pump, radiator, fan, and hoses. They run as a closed system, but with sensors in place so the rest of the engine can adapt. The only exception being the fan, which may be electrical, which uses the engine coolant temperature sensor to switch it on and off.

They don't do much, unless you have a code for only a bad IAT, its not the problem. Simply measures underhood temp or the temp of the air after the air cleaner.
