The sensor your after should read resistance change as temperatures go up. It puts out less resistance the hotter it gets. Couple 2.5 thousand ohms @ 68 degrees to about 350 to 400 ohms hot, at 176 degrees as I remember.

You probably found the instrument gauge sender.

The ECU does not output anything to the sensor.

A bad wire or connector back to the ECU would also keep the light on.

Computers don't lie considering all the thing they take care of.

They may some day.

Then tell you its time for a new car and how far to the nearest dealer!

Part of that is true...Whoa! Next thing they will think of, taxing medical benefits?...?
