The CHT could work either way. The original ones do not require a power supply at all, the thermocouple powers the indicator. They will be the indicators which show just one cylinder. However, most modern indicators, and for certain, any with a digital, or otherwise electronic display, will also require power input, which if lost, will result in the CHT indication also being lost. If you would like to understand which type your airplane has, watch it while you turn off the master during your runup, and see if it drops with the loss of power, and you'll know. Also, a read of the POH will tell you what the Cessna configuration is - the system description pages.
