"Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor (ECT)
The ECT sensor monitors coolant temperature in the engine block, and is mounted in the engine coolant jacket. The ECM uses this signal to control fuel management and fan operation. During an overheating situation, it is also used for engine protection. (PID 110)

Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC)
Trouble codes can be active or inactive. Active codes indicate that the problem currently exists and inactive codes indicate that a problem once existed. Flash codes represent digits assigned to diagnostic trouble codes, so that DTCs can be retrieved through the diagnostic lamps. Active codes are indicated by the red stop engine lamp (SEL). Inactive codes are indicated by the yellow check engine lamp (CEL). When using the diagnostic tool, DTC's are formatted under SAE J1587 standards. The first set of numbers is the Parameter or Subsystem Identifier and the second set is the Failure Mode Identifier. Both can be retrieved and cleared from the ECM via the data link."
