Hyundai i-30: Engine Control System / Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor (ECTS)
Description and operation
The Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor (ECTS) is located in the cylinder block
and cylinder head, and measures the temperature of the engine coolant.
The thermistor of the cooling water temperature and resistance has a negative
temperature coefficient (NTC) where the resistance decreases when the temperature
rises and the resistance increases when the temperature decreases.
The ECTS # 1 mounted on the cylinder head measures the coolant temperature from
the engine, and the ECTS # 2 mounted on the cylinder block measures the coolant
temperature entering the engine. The ECTS # 1 and the ECTS # 2 deliver the cooling
water temperature to the ECM (Engine Control Module), which delivers the signal
to the Thermal Management Module valve (TMM).
The TMM that receives the signal controls the flow of coolant to adjust the
coolant temperature. In addition, the ECTS calibrates the fuel injection quantity
and the ignition timing based on the information of the cooling water temperature
to prevent the engine failure and an engine-hunting during a cold start test.

Repair procedures
1. |
Turn the ignition switch OFF.
|
2. |
Remove the ECTS.
(Refer to "Removal")
|
3. |
After immersing the thermistor of the sensor into engine coolant, measure
resistance between the ECTS terminals 3 and 4.
|
4. |
Check that the resistance is within the specification.

To signal a turn, push down on the
lever for a left turn or up for a right
turn in position (A). To signal a lane
change, move the turn signal lever
slightly and hold it in position (B).The
lever will return to the OFF position
when released or when the turn is
completed.
