Thermostat (Toyota) - 90916-03083
An automotive thermostat is a small valve-like component located in the engine's cooling system. It serves as a temperature-sensitive control mechanism that regulates the flow of coolant through the engine. Its primary function is to maintain the engine at an optimal operating temperature by opening and closing in response to temperature changes. When the engine is cold, the thermostat remains closed, preventing coolant flow, which helps the engine warm up quickly. Once the engine reaches its operating temperature, the thermostat opens, allowing coolant to circulate and dissipate heat, thus preventing the engine from overheating.
