The wash water temperature in a dishwasher should be 140oF to 160oF to avoid baking the food on the dishes. The rinse water needs to be 82oC (180oF) for 60 seconds.

Do all dishwasher sanitize the dishes?

No. A dishwasher will not sanitize dishes unless the option is turned on. A normal cycle will use very hot water to wash and it’s good enough. A sanitary cycle heats water to 170 degrees. You should have a good reason to use this cycle.
