Anybody know what the small electrical unit bolted to the front of the block is, just at the back of the alternator? It looks like a small black probe or sender of some sort. The cable connects to a plug and heads off in the loom.

Probably something simple but cant find it in the manual.

Its below the plugs in the block, between the back of the alternator and the large vertical coolant hose.
