GPD 1713041 HVAC Thermistor Evaporator Temperature Sensor

The GPD 1713041 is a direct-fit replacement HVAC thermistor (evaporator temperature sensor) engineered for automotive air conditioning systems. This sensor continuously monitors evaporator core temperature and delivers critical feedback to the vehicle's engine control module (ECM), allowing the A/C system to operate efficiently and safely.

In modern vehicles, the ECM relies on thermistor data to actively regulate compressor cycling and overall A/C system performance. In earlier vehicles, the thermistor serves as a direct safeguard — shutting off the compressor when temperatures drop too low to prevent evaporator freeze-up and costly compressor damage.

Key Features:

• Designed to meet or exceed OE fit, form, and function
• Durability tested on every new design
• Voltage tested and amperage draw tested for reliable electrical performance
• Direct replacement for a failed or malfunctioning evaporator thermistor
