Description
This sensor is normally located on the right cylinder head. But we have also discovered that it can sit on the left cylinder head on some models. But it is not the location that is important, but the function. It works so that when you start the car ice cold in e.g. minus degrees, the automatic climate control waits to start the passenger compartment fan until the engine reaches a temperature of approx. 25-40 degrees, thereby preventing freezing air from blowing into the passenger compartment. This means that when the fan starts blowing when the engine's heat has risen to 25-40 degrees, it starts blowing pleasantly warm air into the passenger compartment instead of freezing cold. It is such small details that distinguish a luxury car in Cadillac style from a standard car. If you connect this sensor to the temperature lamp's cable, the HOT, or TEMP lamp lights up at 25-40 degrees engine temp, then you know you have the wrong sensor to the wrong cable
