GPD Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor with Terminals

The GPD Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor with Terminals (also called an ECT sensor, coolant temp sensor, or water temperature sensor) monitors engine coolant temperature and sends that data to the engine control module. The ECM uses this signal to manage fuel delivery, ignition timing, idle speed, and cooling fan operation, and to drive the dash temperature gauge on applications that use one.

Key Features:

• Thermistor-based design that changes electrical resistance as coolant temperature changes
• Supplied with terminals for connector or wiring use, where applicable to the specific part number
• Built to meet or match the form, fit, and function of the original equipment sensor
• Helps maintain proper engine operation, drivability, and fuel economy
• Quality-tested by GPD, a supplier of aftermarket engine management and electrical components

Benefits:

A failing coolant temperature sensor can cause hard starting, poor fuel economy, rough idle, black smoke, overheating warnings, a cooling fan that runs at the wrong time, or a check engine light. Replacing a worn sensor restores accurate temperature readings so the engine management system can run as designed. Installation is typically simple, with the sensor threading into the engine block, cylinder head, or thermostat housing.
