Global Parts 1712616 Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor

Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor for Mitsubishi and Dodge

Global Parts 1712616 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 shut off the compressor to help prevent failure. This part is a direct-fit style replacement for select 1983 Mitsubishi Starion and 1984 Dodge Colt applications.
