2006 Mazda 6 Coolant Temperature Sensors Parts and Q&A

• Q: What does the coolant temperature indicator system consist of and how do the Coolant Temperature Sensors function on 2006 Mazda 6?

  A: The Coolant Temperature Indication System provides the driver with information about the engine coolant temperature via either a warning light or gauge located on the dashboard instrument cluster. The system's components are comprised of a Coolant Temperature Sending Unit mounted on the engine itself, which is then connected via the wiring harness to the given indicator on the dash of the vehicle. The job of the Coolant Temperature Sending Unit is performed in 3.7L V6 models by Cylinder Head Temperature (CHT) Sensor, and in 3.0L V6 and 4-cylinder models by the Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Sensor which. These sensors also work simultaneously to provide constant data regard current engine coolant temperature to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM).
