The sending unit is only to control the temperiture warning light/gauge on your dash. If you are referring to the sending unit in your overflow tank it just turns your low coolant light on. The temperiture sensor is used to feed engine temperiture data into the computer, to caculate how much fuel the engine will get during cold start up etc. It is simply input data for the computer.
