Walker 211-2072 Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor - Upper

Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor for Hyundai and Kia

Walker 211-2072 is an engine coolant temperature sensor built to send real-time coolant temperature data to the engine control module. With accurate signal output and OE-style resistance values, it supports fuel delivery, ignition timing, cold-start enrichment, and cooling fan operation on select Hyundai and Kia applications.

The Sensor Only line from Walker focuses on direct-fit replacement sensors that integrate with factory systems. This part number, 211-2072, is engineered for reliable electrical response and consistent thermal performance in demanding underhood conditions.

Key Features

• Engine coolant temperature sensor for ECM temperature input
• Blade terminal type with 2 terminals
• Female oblong connector for factory-style connection
• Heat-resistant construction for coolant and vibration exposure
• Direct-fit design for straightforward replacement
• Sensor only; wiring harness not included

Detailed Description

Walker Products 211-2072 is designed for vehicles that rely on precise coolant temperature feedback to manage engine operation. It matches OE specifications for resistance values, thermal response, and signal output, helping the ECM read engine temperature accurately and adjust operating strategy accordingly. This makes it a practical replacement for a failed coolant temp sensor on 2020-2023 Kia Rio, 2020-2021 Hyundai Accent, 2020-2021 Hyundai Venue, and 2022-2024 Hyundai Venue applications.

As part of the Walker Sensor Only line, this component is focused on the sensor itself rather than added assemblies. That makes 211-2072 a clean replacement choice when servicing an upper engine coolant temperature sensor location on the intake manifold. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Solve

• Incorrect coolant temperature readings at the ECM
• Hard starting during cold engine operation
• Rough idle or fuel mixture concerns tied to temperature input
• Cooling fan control issues caused by faulty sensor data
• Check engine light related to coolant temperature sensor faults

Installation Notes and Tips

Fits 2022-2024 Hyundai Venue, Upper. Fits 2020-2023 Kia Rio, Upper. Fits 2022 Hyundai Accent, Upper. Fits 2020-2021 Hyundai Accent, Upper. Fits 2020-2021 Hyundai Venue, Upper.

Verify the connector shape, terminal count, and mounting location before installation. This sensor uses a female oblong connector with blade terminals and does not include a wiring harness. Confirm the upper intake manifold location on the vehicle before replacing the original unit.

Quality Assurance

Walker engineers this coolant temperature sensor to align with OE specifications for resistance, thermal response, and signal output, supporting dependable integration with factory engine management systems.
