Circuit Description

Engine Coolant Temperature Gauge
The pointer of the engine coolant temperature gauge is moved by the magnetic field of two coils. The coils are at right angles to each other. The magnetic field, controlled by the engine coolant temperature sender, cause the gauge needle to move. As the resistance in the sender varies, current through the gauge coils changes.
