Global Parts 1712460 Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor

Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor for OE-Style Engine Feedback

Global Parts 1712460 is an engine coolant temperature sensor used to send coolant temperature feedback to the engine management system. On modern vehicles, that signal helps the ECM manage A/C operation; on earlier applications, it can directly control compressor shutoff to help prevent compressor failure. This part number 1712460 is listed for a wide range of Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Plymouth, Mitsubishi, and Volkswagen applications.

Key Features

• Engine coolant temperature sensor for temperature-based engine management input
• Supports ECM-controlled A/C operation on newer vehicles
• Used in earlier systems to help shut off the compressor when needed
• Direct-fit application coverage for many Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Plymouth, Mitsubishi, and Volkswagen models
• Cross-references Standard Ignition TX81 and Mopar 56027873 for the same application

Detailed Description

Global Parts 1712460 is an engine coolant temperature sensor built for vehicles that rely on accurate coolant temperature feedback to manage drivability and HVAC operation. It is listed for applications such as 1997-2007 Dodge Dakota, 2002-2007 Dodge Ram 1500, 1997-2006 Jeep Wrangler, 1997-2006 Jeep TJ, and 2021-2022 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport, Engine Block. The part number 1712460 also covers many Chrysler minivan and sedan applications, along with select Mitsubishi and Jeep models.

For fitment-based searches, this sensor is commonly referenced as an engine coolant temperature sensor for 3/8 - 18 NPTF thread applications with 2 terminals. If you are replacing a failed coolant temp sensor on a Dodge Durango, Jeep Grand Cherokee, or Chrysler Town & Country, this listing provides the vehicle coverage needed to match the original application.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Incorrect coolant temperature readings sent to the ECM
• A/C compressor shutoff issues tied to temperature input
• Poor engine management response from a faulty sensor signal
• Temperature-related drivability concerns on listed Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Plymouth, Mitsubishi, and Volkswagen vehicles
• Replacement needs for worn or failed 2-terminal coolant temperature sensors

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify thread size, terminal count, and engine location before installation. This listing includes applications with 3/8 - 18 NPTF thread and 2 terminals, and fitment includes engine block placement on the 2021-2022 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport. Always compare the original sensor connector and mounting style to the vehicle-specific fitment notes before ordering.

Quality Assurance

Global Parts 1712460 is cataloged as an OE-style replacement sensor with broad interchange coverage, including Standard Ignition TX81, T Series TX81T, and Mopar 56027873 references.
