The powertrain control module continuously monitors the charge air cooler temperature cact circuit for concerns.
Charge air cooler temperature sensor location.
2011 2015 ford f 250 350 450 superduty 6 7l powerstroke diesel intake air charge air cooler temperature iat cact sensor ap63544.
P007b ford description the powertrain control module continuously monitors the charge air cooler temperature sensor for concerns this diagnostic trouble code dtc sets when the charge air cooler temperature cact parameter identification pid does not correlate with the intake air temperature iat or the intake air temperature 2 iat2 pids at ignition on.
This information is sent to the powertrain control.
A charge air cooler temperature sensor cact is used to measure the temperature and therefore the density of air entering exiting the charge air cooler.
A failing or defective sensor will not be able to send the correct signal to the ecu engine control unit which can result in increased difficulty when cold starting a vehicle.
This information is sent to the powertrain control module pcm where it is compared to intake air temperature and in some cases engine coolant temperature and exhaust gas recirculation.
This sensor is used.
