Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor for Porsche

Global Parts 1712638 is an engine coolant temperature sensor that sends coolant temperature feedback to the engine management system. On modern Porsche applications, that signal helps the ECM manage A/C operation and related engine controls. This part is a direct-fit style replacement for select Porsche 911, Boxster, Cayman, Cayenne, and Carrera GT models.

Key Features

• Engine coolant temperature sensor for temperature feedback to the ECM
• Supports engine management and A/C control functions on modern vehicles
• M14 x 1.5 thread design with 2-terminal connection
• Fits select Porsche 911, Boxster, Cayman, Cayenne, and Carrera GT applications
• Global Parts part number 1712638

Detailed Description

Global Parts 1712638 is built for Porsche cooling system service where accurate coolant temperature input is required for proper engine control. The sensor reports coolant temperature to the ECM, which uses that information to manage operating strategy and, on modern vehicles, A/C system control. This makes it a practical replacement for Porsche 911 coolant temp sensor, Porsche Boxster coolant temperature sensor, and other listed applications when the original unit is no longer reading correctly.

This part cross-references Standard Ignition TX142 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Incorrect coolant temperature readings at the ECM
• A/C compressor shutdown caused by faulty temperature feedback
• Cooling system warning lights or temperature-related fault codes
• Hard starting or drivability issues tied to inaccurate engine temperature data
• Intermittent sensor signal loss in Porsche cooling system service

Installation Notes

Verify the M14 x 1.5 thread and 2-terminal connector before installation. Confirm the sensor location and connector style against the original part on the vehicle. For fitment, this part fits 2001-2013 Porsche 911, 2000-2008 Porsche Boxster, 2006-2008 Porsche Cayman, 2003-2006 Porsche Cayenne, and 2004-2005 Porsche Carrera GT.
