ECM Integrated Temperature Sensor: Notes

The E Box fan is controlled by the MS45 ECM. The control module contains an integral NTC temperature sensor for the purpose of monitoring the E box temperature and activating the fan.

When the internal temperature exceeds 65°C, the ECM provides a switched ground for the E Box fan to cool the E box control modules.
