What does a coolant temperature sensor do?

The coolant temperature sensor monitors the engine's temperature and sends that information to the vehicle's computer. This data is used to adjust fuel injection, ignition timing, and fan operation for optimal performance and emissions.

How do I know if my coolant temperature sensor needs replacing?

Symptoms of a failing sensor can include an inaccurate temperature gauge reading (either too high or too low), poor fuel economy, rough idling, or a check engine light with related diagnostic trouble codes.

Does this sensor come with any hardware or sealant?

This is a direct-fit, thread-in sensor. It is designed to replace the original part, and typically uses the existing sealing surface. Refer to your vehicle's service manual for specific installation instructions regarding any necessary sealant or torque specifications.
