Detailed Product Description

Standard Ignition TX122 is an OE-style engine coolant temperature sensor for vehicles that use a screw-in sensor design and a 3-terminal blade connection. It is commonly used on Hyundai Elantra, Hyundai Sonata, Hyundai Accent, Hyundai Tucson, Kia Forte, Kia Soul, Kia Optima, Kia Rio, and related Genesis and Kia models listed in the fitment data. The brass construction and complete assembly format support a direct service replacement where the original sensor matches the same connector and terminal configuration.

This part number TX122 is listed across many Hyundai and Kia platforms, including 2017-2020 Hyundai Elantra, 2014-2024 Kia Forte, 2010-2025 Kia Soul, and 2014-2021 Hyundai Tucson applications. Always verify the connector style, terminal count, and mounting style against the original part before installation.

What This Sensor Helps Address

  • Incorrect coolant temperature signal to the engine control system
  • Temperature gauge or scan data that does not match engine conditions
  • Hard starting or drivability concerns related to coolant temperature input
  • Cooling fan operation issues tied to sensor feedback
  • Check engine light concerns related to coolant temperature circuit faults

Installation Notes and Tips

Install only on vehicles that match the screw-on mounting style, female rectangular connector, and 3-blade terminal configuration. On some applications, the sensor is located on the thermostat housing or cylinder head, so confirm the original location before removal. For fitment-sensitive vehicles such as Hyundai Elantra, Kia Rio, and Hyundai Accent, compare the old sensor’s connector and terminal layout to TX122 before service.

Quality Assurance

Standard Ignition supplies this sensor as a complete assembly for the listed applications. The TX122 part number is supported by broad interchange coverage and fitment data across Hyundai, Kia, and Genesis models, including 2000-2026 year coverage in the catalog listing.
