Komodo dragons are reptiles. As such, they are cold-blooded. This means they cannot self-regulate their body temperatures like mammals and birds can. They must warm themselves from sitting in the sun. If they don't, they are sluggish and cannot move fast, if at all.
A Komodo Dragon does have scales. But they are cold-blooded animals so it is more the color of the skin/scales that regulate temperature.
A Komodo dragon has an average body temperature of around 36-37°C (97-98°F), similar to that of other reptiles. They are ectothermic, meaning they rely on external sources to regulate their body temperature.
