Beck/Arnley Engine Coolant Temperature Switch P/N:201-1522
Keep your dashboard temperature gauge reading accurately with the Beck/Arnley Engine Coolant Temperature Switch 201-1678 — the RAV4 switch and OE-style sender that drops into a wide list of Lexus and Toyota models. It sends water (coolant) temperature information from the engine to the dash instrument gauge, so the driver can keep an eye on how hot the coolant is running.
This switch is a direct-fit replacement for the 1993-1997 Lexus GS300, 1996-1997 Lexus LX450, 1993-1995 Lexus SC300, 1993-1995 Lexus SC400, 1993-1996 Toyota Camry, 1994-1996 Toyota Celica, 1993-1997 Toyota Land Cruiser, 1993-1995 Toyota MR2, 1996-1997 Toyota RAV4, and 1994-1998 Toyota Supra. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-specific details. If a faulty sending switch is behind an erratic or dead temperature gauge, this replaces the original unit.
