Engine Coolant temperature sensor (Combination Meter) Assembly Wiring Guide: DIY Pinout Diagram
1. Introduction
The Toyota Prius 3rd Generation Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Sensor for the Combination Meter Assembly (89422-33030) plays a vital role in monitoring and displaying accurate engine temperature information. This sensor measures the engine’s coolant temperature and sends precise signals to both the ECU and the dashboard gauge, ensuring the driver is constantly informed of operating conditions. Its data helps the hybrid system regulate fuel delivery, ignition timing, and cooling fan operation for optimal performance. A properly functioning ECT sensor supports improved fuel efficiency, protects the engine from overheating, and maintains smooth hybrid operation, making it an essential component in the Prius 3rd gen cooling system.
- Engine Control Unit (ECU / ECM):- Receives temperature signals for fuel control, ignition timing, and fan operation.
- Combination Meter Assembly (Dashboard Display Unit) :-Shows the coolant temperature reading to the driver.
- Radiator Cooling Fan & Fan Control Module:-Activates based on coolant temperature data.
- :-
- Thermostat Assembly:- Regulates coolant flow based on temperature.
- Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor (Main Sensor for ECU) :- Works alongside the combination-meter sensor.
- Hybrid Control ECU:- Uses temperature data for hybrid system efficiency.
- Water Pump Assembly (Electric Pump):- Ensures proper coolant circulation.
- Radiator & Cooling System Components:- Work with the temperature sensor to maintain ideal engine temperature.
