Give your engine management system an accurate temperature reading with the Motorad Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor (P/N 1TS1210). It drops in as a direct-fit replacement across a broad Ford, Lincoln, Mercury, Mazda and more lineup — including the 1995-1997 Ford Aerostar, 1995-2000 Ford Contour, 2005-2012 Ford Escape, 1996-2023 Ford Mustang and 1995-2008 Ford Ranger — with 93 applications in all (see the Buyer's Guide tab for the complete list).
An engine coolant temperature sensor is a thermistor that changes resistance as coolant temperature rises and falls, sending that signal to the powertrain control module.
- Temperature monitoring: reports engine coolant temperature so the PCM can adjust its calculations.
- Feeds key controls: the reading helps inform fuel delivery, ignition timing, and cooling-fan operation.
- Direct-fit replacement: designed to install for the listed applications.
Signs this sensor may need replacing include an erratic or inaccurate temperature gauge, hard cold starts, or an illuminated check engine light. These symptoms can have other causes, so diagnose the source before replacing — if a failed coolant temperature sensor is the cause, this unit replaces it.
Manufacturer part number 1TS1210.
