In a Chevy Silverado from 2014, you can find the coolant temp sensor, also known as CTS, near the water pump. The CTS plays a crucial role in monitoring the engine's coolant temperature as part of the engine management system. If this sensor malfunctions, it might provide incorrect information to the computer, affecting fuel and timing calculations. It's not unusual for the coolant temp sensor to break down and continuously report a low temperature to the computer. This can lead to decreased fuel efficiency and potential engine performance issues. Flawed data from the CTS could result in the engine misjudging the fuel-to-air mixture.
