Coolant Temperature Sensors – The Key to Your Engine’s Health

Coolant temperature sensors play a vital role in every vehicle, providing precise monitoring of coolant temperature to ensure efficient engine operation and prevent overheating. In this category, you will find original and used coolant temperature sensors that have been carefully selected for quality and reliability.

Why Is a Functional Temperature Sensor So Important?

The temperature sensor is not just a tiny electronic component – it is fundamental to the safe and economical operation of your vehicle. The accuracy of this sensor’s readings affects many components, including:

  • Fuel injection system
  • Radiator fan operation
  • Dashboard temperature gauge
  • Adjustment of the fuel-air mixture

Common Coolant Temperature Sensor Failures

What symptoms indicate a coolant temperature sensor malfunction? The most frequent ones are:

  • Incorrect readings on the dashboard (too high or too low)
  • Problems starting the engine, especially when cold
  • Radiator fan turning on at the wrong time or not at all
  • Increased fuel consumption
  • Engine running too rich or too lean, noticeable loss of power

A faulty sensor can also lead to overheating of the engine, potentially causing major engine damage.
