Where is the water temperature sensor located on the Mondeo?
1 Answers
The water temperature sensor on the Mondeo is generally installed near the thermostat. It converts the coolant temperature into an electrical signal, increasing fuel injection or advancing the ignition timing angle at low temperatures, and preventing detonation while retarding the ignition timing angle at high temperatures. Strictly speaking, water temperature sensors are divided into two major categories, but regardless of the type, their internal structure consists of a thermistor with a resistance ranging from 275 ohms to 6500 ohms. Moreover, the resistance increases as the temperature decreases and decreases as the temperature rises. Below are the locations of other sensors on the Ford Mondeo: 1. Oxygen sensor: The oxygen sensor is installed on the exhaust pipe and is used to monitor post-combustion gases to determine whether the engine is burning efficiently and whether the mixture is too lean or too rich. 2. Wheel speed sensor: The wheel speed sensor is typically located on the front brake disc. Its primary function is to collect the vehicle's rotational speed to detect signs of wheel slip. Therefore, a dedicated sensor is used to monitor wheel speed, usually installed on the hub of each wheel. If the sensor fails, the ABS system will become inoperative. 3. Intake pressure sensor: Generally installed near the throttle body, the intake pressure sensor detects changes in resistance and pressure corresponding to different engine speeds and loads, converting these into voltage signals for the ECU to adjust fuel injection and ignition timing. If this sensor malfunctions, it can cause issues such as difficulty starting, unstable idle, or poor acceleration.
