Technician A says the engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor is an electro-magnetic type of sensor. Technician B says the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) or Transmission Control Module (TCM) uses the ECT to vary shift timing and pressure based on engine temperature. Who is correct?
A) Technician A
B) Technician B
C) Both A and B
D) Neither A nor B

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Technician B is correct because the PCM or TCM uses the ECT sensor to adjust shift timing and pressure based on engine temperature. Technician A is incorrect because the ECT sensor is typically a thermistor, not an electro-magnetic sensor.
