Delphi TS10542 Air Charge Temperature Sensor

Delphi TS10542 Air Charge Temperature Sensor

The Delphi TS10542 air charge temperature sensor is built for Ford and Lincoln applications that rely on accurate intake air temperature data for proper engine management. With OE-based engineering and a 2-pin, square connector design, it supports consistent signal delivery in a direct-fit replacement format.

Key Features

• Air charge temperature sensor for engine management systems
• 2-terminal, male connector with square connector shape
• Push-on mounting type for straightforward replacement
• 1-port design for the specified application
• Includes air charge temperature sensor and instruction sheet
• Delphi part number TS10542 for catalog and cross-reference use

Application Details

Compatible with a wide range of Ford and Lincoln vehicles, including the Ford F-150, Ford Escape, Ford Explorer, Ford Bronco, Ford Ranger, Lincoln Navigator, and Lincoln Aviator. This Delphi TS10542 sensor also cross-references Standard Ignition AX422 for the same application. It is a direct replacement for vehicles such as the 2015-2023 Ford F-150, 2014-2023 Ford Escape, 2016-2023 Ford Explorer, and 2015-2023 Lincoln Navigator.

Built from Delphi’s OE heritage and supplier experience, this sensor is engineered to match the electrical and connector requirements used in many late-model Ford and Lincoln intake air temperature applications. The TS10542 helps restore accurate air charge temperature input to the engine control system, which is critical for fuel and spark calculations.

What This Part Helps Address

• Incorrect intake air temperature readings
• Check engine light concerns related to sensor signal faults
• Rough idle or drivability issues tied to air charge data errors
• Hard starting or inconsistent engine response caused by faulty sensor input
• Replacement needs after connector or sensor wear

Installation Notes

Verify connector shape, terminal count, and mounting style before installation. This part uses a square, male 2-terminal connector and push-on mounting, so the replacement should match the original sensor configuration. Confirm vehicle-specific placement and inspect the harness connector for damage before installing the new sensor. For fitment verification, match the application to the exact year, make, and model listed for Ford and Lincoln vehicles.

Quality Assurance

Delphi draws on more than a century of OE experience, with engineering knowledge carried into its aftermarket parts. That OE-based background supports consistent fit and function for replacement needs on Ford and Lincoln engine sensor applications.
