The coolant temperature gauge detects the resistance
from the coolant temperature sensor.
The coolant temperature gauge indicates the coolant
temperature in the thermostat housing.
The relationship between the resistance of coolant
temperature sensor and reading on the coolant
temperature gauge is as follows.
• When the coolant temperature stays at 123
℃
(253
℉
), the coolant temperature indicator lamp
comes on.
• When the coolant temperature stays below 118
℃
(244
℉
), the coolant temperature indicator lamp
turns off.

8.3 Function of fuel level sensor
The remaining fuel quantity is detected by the fuel level
sensor installed in the fuel tank and indicated on the
fuel gauge. For detection, a float and a resistor are
used.
As the float lowers, the resistance of the variable
resistor varies.

8.4 Function of coolant temperature
sensor
The coolant temperature sensor is installed to the water
pump housing, and its tip is in touch with the coolant. It
contains a thermistor (4) whose electrical resistance
decreases as the temperature increases.
Current varies with changes in the coolant temperature.
When the coolant temperature is increased, the
electrical resistance will become small, and when the
coolant temperature is decreased, it will become large.
