Subject:      Temp II (for ECU) Sensor: Voltage Range?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8

Hi all.


With a "Luxemburg" Motronic 2.9 and Vanagon WBX Digifant coolant temp
(for ECU) sensor in hand, I noticed each had a different voltage range
stamped on them:


Motronic sensor: rated up to14.x Volts
WBX sensor: rated up to 12.x


My guess is that this is due to the WBX Digifant and Motronic engine
management (ECU) systems having different voltage demands and control
parameters. True? But ....


Since some (all?) aftermarket sensors may not have a voltage rating
stamped on them....


Do aftermarket unmarked sensors possibly fail early due to a limited
voltage range?


Just some Friday Fodder from the Electrically Obsessed,


Neil.
