Detailed Product Information

SKP SKAX255 is built for vehicles that rely on accurate intake air temperature data to support proper engine operation. This sensor is used in the air induction system to report charge-air temperature to the powertrain control module, helping maintain correct drivability and engine response across changing operating conditions. It is a practical replacement for Chrysler 300, Dodge Challenger, Dodge Charger, Dodge Dart, Dodge Durango, and Jeep Grand Cherokee applications listed above.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What This Sensor Helps Address

• Check engine light related to intake air temperature signal faults
• Rough idle or inconsistent throttle response caused by incorrect air temperature readings
• Hard starting or poor cold-weather operation tied to sensor input errors
• Reduced fuel control accuracy when the engine computer receives unreliable charge-air data
• Driveability concerns after sensor wear, contamination, or electrical failure

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify connector style, mounting location, and engine application before installation. Inspect the harness and terminals for corrosion, bent pins, or damaged wiring before replacing the sensor. Clear diagnostic trouble codes after installation and confirm that live data readings are stable during engine warm-up and normal driving.

Quality Assurance

SKP replacement sensors are cataloged for specific vehicle applications and are selected to match the listed fitment for proper service use.
