Product Details

Standard Ignition TS-385 is engineered for coolant temperature monitoring in vehicles that rely on accurate thermal input for engine management and fan control. The design uses calibrated internal components and factory testing to confirm actuation at the specified temperature range, helping maintain consistent signal output under normal operating conditions. For 1995-1999 Dodge Neon and 1995-1999 Plymouth Neon models, this sensor supports proper temperature reporting to the vehicle’s control system.

This part cross-references Walker Products 211-1105 for the same application.

Common Issues It May Address

• Inaccurate coolant temperature readings on the dash or scan tool
• Cooling fan operation that does not trigger at the expected temperature
• Hard starting or drivability concerns tied to incorrect temperature input
• Check engine light conditions related to coolant temperature signal faults
• Intermittent sensor signal caused by worn internal contacts or connector issues

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify connector style, terminal count, and thread-in mounting before installation. Clean the mounting area and inspect the harness connector for corrosion or damaged terminals before connecting the new sensor. Confirm the replacement matches the vehicle’s electrical specification and service requirements for the cooling system.

Quality Assurance

Standard Ignition manufactures this sensor with controlled materials, calibration, and testing throughout production to support consistent electrical actuation and dependable service performance.
