- Standard Ignition TX235 for temperature signal restoration
Detailed Product Overview
This engine coolant temperature sensor is used to monitor coolant temperature and send that information to the vehicle’s engine management system. Accurate readings are important for proper fuel control, cooling fan operation, and temperature-related diagnostics. Standard Ignition TX235 is a direct replacement for select Ford Explorer, Ford Edge, and Ford Taurus models, making it a practical choice when the original sensor is damaged or no longer reading correctly.
This part cross-references CTSA190 and DB5Z12A648A for the same application.
What It Helps Fix
- Incorrect or unstable coolant temperature readings
- Check engine light concerns related to temperature sensor faults
- Hard starting or rough running caused by inaccurate engine temperature data
- Cooling fan operation issues tied to faulty temperature input
- Driveability problems from a failing engine coolant temperature sensor
Installation Notes and Tips
Install TX235 using the bolt-on mounting point and verify the female round connector seats fully before returning the vehicle to service. Confirm the connector type, terminal style, and application match the original sensor before installation. For best results, inspect the cooling system and wiring connector for corrosion, damage, or coolant contamination during replacement.
Quality Assurance
Standard Ignition builds this sensor with high-grade materials and a service-focused design to meet the demands of professional repair work. The construction is intended to provide reliable electrical performance and consistent temperature signal output in everyday use.
