Detailed Description

The TX361 monitors engine coolant temperature so the vehicle control system can respond to changing operating conditions. Accurate coolant temperature input is important for fuel control, cooling fan strategy, and temperature-related diagnostics. This Standard Ignition coolant temperature sensor is listed for multiple late-model Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram platforms, including Dodge Durango, Jeep Grand Cherokee, Jeep Wrangler, and Ram 1500 applications. It also cross-references Mopar 68217702AD for the same application. This part cross-references CTSA231 and TS3583 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Temperature-related warning lights or diagnostic trouble codes
• Incorrect coolant temperature readings at the engine control module
• Cooling fan operation concerns tied to sensor input
• Rough cold-start or warm-up fuel control caused by inaccurate temperature data
• Hard-to-trace drivability issues linked to coolant temperature signal loss

Installation Notes and Tips

• Verify connector shape, terminal style, and push-in mounting before installation.
• Inspect the coolant passage or water outlet for contamination or damage before installing the sensor.
• Confirm the application by year, make, model, and engine location notes, including engine block or water outlet placement where listed.
• Clear stored diagnostic codes after installation and recheck system operation.

Quality Assurance

Standard Ignition replacement parts are built to match the electrical and mounting requirements of the listed applications. Confirm fitment against the vehicle’s year, make, model, and sensor location before ordering.
