COOLANT
TEMPERATU
RE SENSOR IN
BMW X1?
HOW TO IDENTIFY A FAILING
BMW X1 is an ultimate
driving machine
having comfort inside
& character outside.
It has set the world
on fire due to its
profuse legroom,
trenchant handling,
& swift acceleration.
However, when its
coolant
temperature sensor
fails, it becomes
unreliable.
Let’s know the ways
to identify a bad CTS
in BMW X1.
Functions of a Coolant
Temperature Sensor
A CTS monitors the
temperature of the
coolant flowing through
the vehicle’s engine.
It ensures that the engine’s
temperature is not above or
below the optimum range.
Faulty Coolant
Temperature
Sensor:
Identification
A failing CTS
gives rise to
various freakish
symptoms. Let’s
get into those
symptoms.
Poor Fuel Mileage
When the coolant
temperature sensor
goes bad, it will send
the wrong wave to the
computer.
It won’t make the fuel & timing
calculations correctly which will
eventually lead to a reduced fuel mileage.
Activated Check
Engine Light :
If the vehicle’s computer
detects any kind of issue
with its sensor circuit, it
will activate the CEL.
Thus, the presence of a
faulty coolant temperature
sensor will cause the CEL to
come on.
Black Exhaust
Smoke
A bad CTS confuses the ECU & forces it to
enrich the air-fuel mixture unnecessarily.
The gasoline fails to burn
modestly when the
mixture goes too rich &
produces black smoke.
Engine
Overheating
Besides monitoring
the temperature of the
coolant, the CTS gives
an idea of how hot the
car engine is.
So, when it goes
bad, it does not
give the message to
the engine for
shutting off &
causes overheating
in the end.
Rough Idling
It is impossible for a
defective coolant
temperature sensor
to maintain a
healthy air-fuel ratio.
The inappropriate air-
fuel ratio can cause
rough idling eventually.
The coolant
temperature sensor
should not go duff for
your BMW’s ideal
performance.
Make a full diagnosis
to reach the cause
responsible for this
issue.
Consult a certified
professional if the CTS is
found on its last legs.
