Detailed Description

The Delphi TS10296 coolant temperature sensor monitors engine coolant temperature and sends that signal to the vehicle’s control system. Accurate temperature input is important for fuel control, idle quality, and cooling system operation. This sensor is listed for applications including 2001-2005 Honda Civic, 2003-2007 Honda Accord, 2002-2006 Honda CR-V, 2005-2008 Honda Pilot, 2004-2008 Acura TSX, and 2002-2006 Acura RSX. This part cross-references Beck/Arnley 158-0811 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Incorrect coolant temperature readings
• Check engine light related to temperature sensor faults
• Rough cold-start or warm-up behavior
• Cooling fan control issues caused by bad temperature input
• Fuel mixture problems tied to inaccurate engine temperature data

Installation Notes and Tips

• Verify connector shape, terminal count, and mounting style before installation.
• Inspect the water outlet or sensor port for corrosion, debris, or damaged threads.
• Use the vehicle’s listed fitment to confirm the correct application for your Honda Civic, Acura TSX, or other supported model.
• Follow the included instruction sheet and service manual procedures for removal and installation.

Quality Assurance

Delphi draws on more than a century of OE experience and supplier knowledge used by major automakers. That OE heritage is built into the design and manufacturing approach of this replacement engine coolant temperature sensor.
