Re: 1990 c3500 coolant temperature sensor wiring question

After looking at a few different schematics, it looks to me like the Square body trucks used terminal A11 for the coolant sensor ground, and the GMT400 used terminal D2.

If it is modified from what came stock from the factory, let us know that too.

Ok awesome! You rock man!!
So in theory if i can not find continuity with a meter on any wire on the engine side of the harness I can run the yellow and black wires directly to the corresponding pins in the ecm correct?

Yes, running your own wires would be ok.

Awesome! I might have to do just that. One more question if you don't mind me picking your brain a bit more sir: where does the single knock sensor wire go to? I don't believe I see anything on the ecm pin-out that refers to the knock sensor.. Unless I'm overlooking it ��

On that vehicle I am fairly sure it uses an ESC module and the knock sensor connects to it. I will go look at the schematic again to make sure this is so.

Yes that truck has an ESC (Electronic Spark Control) module that the knock sensor connects to. The ESC signal is sent to the ECM terminal B7
