Coolant temperature sensor Duster

Any car, including Renault Duster, is equipped with such a device - a coolant temperature sensor. This is an important element of the engine management system, responsible for controlling the characteristics of antifreeze.

Coolant or radiator fluid is responsible for: engine cooling; liquid cooling in automatic transmission; engine water pump lubrication; Interior heating Renault Duster.

Sometimes it is necessary to remove an element to check its suitability for work, or to replace it if it does not work properly.

Duster and its coolant temperature sensor - article, price

Prices for coolant temperature sensor 226306024R for Renault Duster differ and depend on the manufacturer. The original spare part costs 744 rubles, but there are also analogues, more expensive or cheaper. The temperature sensor can cost from 278 rubles to 3000.

Why is it needed, functions

The temperature sensor is an element of the electrical circuit, depending on the actual temperature, the resistance may vary.

The engine cooling system is equipped with a temperature sensor that indicates the degree of heating of the coolant.

With this element, the system keeps the temperature inside the engine under control. The coolant takes heat from the cylinders, which is concentrated in them during engine operation. The temperature of these elements of the car changes, and the fluctuations are recorded by a special device. The information received is sent to the vehicle's ECU. When the signal is differentiated, the performance of the engine is evaluated.

The task of the temperature sensor is very important for the normal operation of the car. The ECU, taking into account the obtained indicators, selects the most suitable operating mode for the engine. This affects the handling of the car.

Thanks to DTOZH, the system successfully performs the following functions: determination of deviations in the operation of the ignition system; gasoline enrichment; control of fuel mixture parameters, its change.

In addition to the listed goals, the correct operation of the DTOZH includes: controlling the rotation of the crankshaft, cleaning the filter elements, blocking when heated, and increasing the speed.

How to change

If malfunctions are found in the DTOZH, it must be replaced. If this need is neglected, the driver may face a long and costly repair. It is not difficult to change the Renault Duster mechanism, it is enough to know the principles of the system and have a basic set of tools.

Before replacing, it is necessary to drain some of the coolant from the engine to avoid leakage. After this procedure, you can proceed directly to the replacement. This work is carried out in several stages.

• Stage 1. Removing the air intake and resonator from the air path of the engine, for this it is necessary to unfasten the bracket, tighten the bell and remove it from the plastic clip. Then we disconnect the pipes and the air filter cover, remove the air intake with the resonator.
• Step 2: Disconnect the retainer and harness assembly.
• Step 3. Unscrew sensor 21 from the thermostat with a key.

Installing a new part is done in the same way, but in reverse order. After installation, check the coolant level and top up if necessary.

If during the operation of the car there will be malfunctions associated with the functioning of the DTOZH, it is necessary to repeat the installation procedure, most likely, an error has been made somewhere or the elements of the system have not been sufficiently repaired.

Also, when carrying out repairs, it is recommended that other parts be carefully inspected for wear, damage or contamination and appropriate preventive measures taken.
