Detailed Description

MotoRad 1TS1042 is an engine coolant temperature sensor designed for vehicles that rely on precise coolant temperature data for engine management and gauge operation. The sensor uses a round female connector with three terminals and does not include a wiring harness. It is engineered for the Neon platform, including 1995-1999 Dodge Neon, 1995-1999 Plymouth Neon, and 1995-1997 Chrysler Neon applications. If you are replacing a failing coolant temp sensor on a Dodge Neon or Chrysler Neon, 1TS1042 provides an OE-style service part reference for the correct electrical connection and fitment.

This part cross-references 74187 and 1551000 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Incorrect coolant temperature readings on the dash or scan tool
• Hard starting or rough running related to temperature signal errors
• Cooling fan control issues caused by faulty temperature input
• Check engine light conditions tied to coolant temperature sensor faults
• Driveability problems from inconsistent engine temperature data

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify connector shape, terminal count, and sensor location before installation. This MotoRad coolant temperature sensor uses a round female connector with three terminals and no wiring harness, so the vehicle-side connector must match. Confirm the application against the exact model year before ordering, especially for Neon platform vehicles.

Quality Assurance

MotoRad manufactures this sensor in ISO TS16949 facilities and uses materials selected for durability in high-heat environments. The 1TS1042 is designed to meet or exceed OEM specifications for the listed Neon applications.
