Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor for Kia

Global Parts 1712628 is an engine coolant temperature sensor that sends temperature feedback to the engine management system. On modern vehicles, that signal helps the ECM manage A/C operation; on earlier systems, it can directly shut the compressor off to help prevent failure. This part is a direct-fit option for select Kia Rio, Sephia, and Spectra applications.
