coolant temperature switch

Today i was fumbling around in my engine compartment and the pulled 2 wires that the haynes manual calls the "coolant temperature switch(A/C)". It's the sensor that comes out from the thermostat housing and points towards the passenger side headlight. I don't have my air conditioning hooked up anymore, so do i need this?

Re: coolant temperature switch

One is for the temp guage, the important one however is the one for the ECU. I do believe 1Gs had a third one for the AC system, but I can't say for sure. If you have a logger you can easily find which one is for the ECU, or perhaps that book will help.

Re: coolant temperature switch

the gauge works, and the one for the ECU is still connected. without the other one connected i noticed nothing different. the cooling fan still came on without it. i jumped the 2 wires to the sensor and noticed no change. so i guess i don't need it sincei dont use my A/C
