This Beck/Arnley coolant temperature sensor, also called an engine coolant temperature sensor, is application specific.
- Made to exacting tolerances for precise messaging to the ECU
- Corrosion-resistant terminals and coatings
- Constructed to withstand an engine environment
Quick facts
- Part: Beck/Arnley 158-1248 coolant temperature sensor
- Also called: engine coolant temperature sensor
- Fits: the 1999-2002 Saab 9-3 4-cylinder 2.3L, the 1999-2011 9-3 4-cylinder 2.0L and other vehicles
- Condition: New
A failing coolant temperature sensor can show up as a check engine light, a temperature gauge that reads wrong or hard starting. Those signs alone do not prove the sensor is at fault, since a thermostat that sticks open can also throw off the temperature readings.
Fits
This coolant temperature sensor fits the 2010-2011 Saab 9-3X 4-cylinder 2.0L, the 1999-2003 Saab 9-5 V6 3.0L and the 1999-2009 9-5 4-cylinder 2.3L, along with other Saab models. It matches OE form, fit and function. The 1999-2003 Saab 9-5 V6 3.0L takes one sensor. If your Saab is not named here, look it up by year and engine in the "Vehicles it fits" section.
