Coolant Temperature Sensor (CTS)

The CTS is located in engine coolant stream to supply coolant temperature information to ECM. It does not allow C-4 system operation (closed loop) while coolant temperature is below 150°F. Below this temperature, the ECM uses a pre-programmed ratio and maintains air/fuel ratio at a fixed ratio (open loop).
