Under your BMW X1’s bonnet, you will find many sensors & the coolant temperature sensor is one of them. Your vehicle will keep performing fuel-efficiently as long as the CTS is in pristine order. Thus, its failure needs to be spotted & resolved timely. Always contact a trusted specialist for its replacement undertaking. Scan this slide to have more information about the ways to identify a defective ECT sensor.
How to Identify A Failing Coolant Temperature Sensor In BMW X1
- 1. COOLANT TEMPERATU RE SENSOR IN BMW X1? HOW TO IDENTIFY A FAILING
- 2. BMW X1 is an ultimate driving machine having comfort inside & character outside.
- 3. It has set the world on fire due to its profuse legroom, trenchant handling, & swift acceleration.
- 4. However, when its coolant temperature sensor fails, it becomes unreliable.
- 5. Let’s know the ways to identify a bad CTS in BMW X1.
- 6. Functions of a Coolant Temperature Sensor
- 7. A CTS monitors the temperature of the coolant flowing through the vehicle’s engine.
- 8. It ensures that the engine’s temperature is not above or below the optimum range.
- 10. A failing CTS gives rise to various freakish symptoms. Let’s get into those symptoms.
- 12. When the coolant temperature sensor goes bad, it will send the wrong wave to the computer.
- 13. It won’t make the fuel & timing calculations correctly which will eventually lead to a reduced fuel mileage.
- 15. If the vehicle’s computer detects any kind of issue with its sensor circuit, it will activate the CEL.
- 16. Thus, the presence of a faulty coolant temperature sensor will cause the CEL to come on.
- 18. A bad CTS confuses the ECU & forces it to enrich the air-fuel mixture unnecessarily.
- 19. The gasoline fails to burn modestly when the mixture goes too rich & produces black smoke.
- 21. Besides monitoring the temperature of the coolant, the CTS gives an idea of how hot the car engine is.
- 22. So, when it goes bad, it does not give the message to the engine for shutting off & causes overheating in the end.
- 23. Rough Idling
- 24. It is impossible for a defective coolant temperature sensor to maintain a healthy air-fuel ratio.
- 25. The inappropriate air- fuel ratio can cause rough idling eventually.
- 26. The coolant temperature sensor should not go duff for your BMW’s ideal performance.
- 27. Make a full diagnosis to reach the cause responsible for this issue.
- 28. Consult a certified professional if the CTS is found on its last legs.
