  1. HOW TO IDENTIFY A FAILING COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR IN BMW X1?

  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.

  9. Faulty Coolant Temperature Sensor: Identification

  10. A failing CTS gives rise to various freakish symptoms. Let’s get into those symptoms.

  11. Poor Fuel Mileage

  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.

  14. Activated Check Engine Light :

  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.

  17. Black Exhaust Smoke

  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.

  20. Engine Overheating

  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.
