No idea what this sensor is.

Hey helpful people that you all are. Whilst doing stuff to my van, (see my van service post) a wire broke off a connector. I can't seem to find a reference in the manual I am using to say what it is and Toyota were useless.


Attachment 1601
A: Thermotime Switch
B: Coolant Temperature Sensor
C: ????

More the reason I ask is because the guy who seems to know about these vans at a Toyota wreckers is over 40 minutes away. Not a problem but I need to know if it is critical this sensor/switch is hooked up. If not I'll just drive over there when the vans back together and get him to fix it while I'm there.

Or how the hell can I re wire it? can it even be done? I looked at the connector but it doesn't look overly reuse friendly.

Thanks in advance.

Assuming the Australian 95 Spacia is the same as US market 86-89 vans (which it appears to be), this is what you're looking at:

A= Cold Start Injector Time Switch (non critical, only matters when engine is cold)

B= ECU Temperature Sensor (critical for correct running)

C= Temp Switch (non critical) to find out more about this read the HEAT SOAK thread.
