Q

If an ECM notices a signal voltage drop of 5 V DC in a temperature sensor circuit, What will the ECM do

A

The ECM will make the decision that an electrical open has occurred in the sensor circuit and create an active code indicating the sensor circuit voltage is high. It should be reading less than 5 V returning to ECM after it goes through the sensor
