Claim 9:
10. A method of operating a coolant control valve, comprising:
flowing pressurized fluid through an outer housing of the coolant control valve configured with a temperature sensor, the temperature sensor having a displaceable body with an electrical connector configured to move together with the displaceable body and communicate electronically with an electronic controller to provide a fluid temperature sensed by the temperature sensor;
generating an actuation force on the temperature sensor, the actuation force provided by the pressurized fluid contacting the temperature sensor; and
moving the displaceable body of the temperature sensor in a first axial direction via the actuation force from a first axial position to a second axial position that forms a passageway that fluidly connects an inner chamber of the coolant control valve to an outlet, and
in the second axial position, the displaceable body extends outside of the outer housing further than in the first axial position.
