13621730034 BMW SENSOR

This sensor basically reads how warm your engine is. It’s constantly checking the temperature of the engine coolant – that’s the fluid that circulates and keeps everything from overheating. It sends that temperature reading as an electrical signal to your car’s computer, the Engine Control Unit, or ECU. That temperature reading is hugely important. The ECU uses it to adjust a whole bunch of things. It controls how much fuel the engine gets – a cold engine needs more fuel, a warm one less. It also controls the timing of the ignition and even affects how the emissions control systems work. It’s a key piece in making sure your engine runs efficiently and doesn’t damage itself. Sometimes it even tells the cooling fans when to kick on. If this sensor goes bad, a lot of things can happen. You might notice your engine running rough, or getting really poor gas mileage. You’ll notice if your check engine light comes on, often with a code related to the coolant temperature being inaccurate. In a worst – case scenario, if the computer thinks the engine is colder than it is, it might not send enough fuel, or if it thinks it’s warmer than it is, it could cause overheating. It really acts like a shield for your engine, protecting it from damage. They’re pretty reliable, but they do fail over time.
