The SDL has a 105C switch to get the fan going and a 115C switch to cut the AC compressor before the engine overheats. I could use the ground signals as the basis of a two stage warning light and buzzer. I'll give you the credit, Ken

I think the SD only has a 100C switch to start the fan. That's a little low of a threshold, but if you're engine doesn't normally run that hot (my SD hasn't gotten to 100C yet) you might as well be alerted sooner rather than later. Is there a 105C switch in the SD?
