Electronic thermostats can help prevent extreme heating conditions because they can be opened when certain conditions are detected.

The changes in thermostat position are made with a heating coil and not the temperature of the coolant. Shop owner Donny Seyfer explores the operation and diagnostics for these next-generation thermostats.
