Not shocking. Most rigs since the very late 1990's have largely digital clusters with analog displays (stepper motors driving needles). They use one ECT sensor to the PCM. From there the PCM drives the instrument cluster over Class II serial or CAN databuss.

Both generations of the T400 platform receive analog signals to the analog gauges (air core driven gauges) direct from the engine sensors and the Speed sensor buffer to the odometer/speedometer with separate ECM sensors where needed.

Yup. That would be the ECM ECT sensor.
