Global Parts 1712591 Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor

Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor for Classic Dodge and Mitsubishi Applications

Global Parts 1712591 is an engine coolant temperature sensor used to send temperature feedback to the engine management system. On modern vehicles, that signal can help the ECM manage A/C operation; on earlier vehicles, it can also be used to shut the compressor off and reduce the risk of compressor damage.

• Engine coolant temperature sensor for temperature-based engine management input
• 2-terminal design with 3/8 - 19 BSPT thread
• Direct fitment for select Dodge, Plymouth, and Mitsubishi models
• Cross-references Standard Ignition TX38
• Also cross-references SU307 and WT3004
