Where is the temperature sensor on the dashboard?
The one on the left, where the single wire black connector has been disconnected is the sending unit for the dashboard gauge. The one on the right with the grey connector (and being held by fingers) is the ECU temperature sensor.
What should temperature be on trans temp gauge?
This gauge offers 10 different color options with allows for easy matching to your vehicle’s other aftermarket or stock gauges. The Glow Shift automatic trans temp gauge allows for a reading of up to 300 F, which is more than enough.
Can You calibrate temp gauge to sensor with resistors?
Thing to bear in mind thought is that the sensor is a thermistor and the output of it IS NOT linear. Google thermistor and you should get an understanding on how it works. Adding resistors won’t fix it , the correct sensor for the gauge will. so adding other components to calibrate it cant be done? shall bin it then..
Where is the temp sensor on a jeep?
The one wire sensor in the back sends temp readings to the gauge in the Jeeps dash. If you temp gauge isn’t acting right, replace the one wire. The two wire sensor located in the thermostat housing sends its signal to the PCM. For poor performance issues and testing we are going to look at the two wire up front.

What do I need to test my coolant temperature sensor?
All you are going to need is thermometer and voltmeter to test the temperature sensor. The coolant temperature sensor will show different om reading at different temperatures. We will include the graph in the video so you can use it to test your temperature sensor.
Is the output of a water temp sensor linear?
Thing to bear in mind thought is that the sensor is a thermistor and the output of it IS NOT linear. Google thermistor and you should get an understanding on how it works. Depends on the application, i was under the impression that most auto water temp sensors were rtd’s, which in that case should ideally be linear.
