How does the coolant temp sensor work on a PCM?

How does the coolant temp sensor work on a PCM?

When the PCM senses this high voltage input, it will translate this voltage input to a coolant temperature of -46° F (-50° C). Coolant temp sensor’s wires have an ‘open-circuit’ problem (usually due to a cut wire).
