Detailed Description
The SKP SKTX81 is an engine coolant temperature sensor used in vehicles such as the Dodge Dakota, Dodge Ram 1500, Jeep Grand Cherokee, and Jeep Wrangler.

What It Helps Address
- Incorrect coolant temperature readings

- Rough idle caused by inaccurate temperature input
- Check engine light related to coolant temperature sensor faults
- Fuel mixture and drivability issues tied to temperature signal errors
Installation Notes and Tips
Verify connector style and engine application before installation. Fitment includes 1997 Jeep TJ and 1997 Jeep Wrangler with a rectangular connector note, so connector matching is important on those vehicles. Confirm the sensor location on the engine cooling circuit and inspect the connector and wiring for corrosion or damage during replacement.
Quality Assurance
