NTK EF0022 coolant temperature sensor for the 2015 Chevrolet Colorado V6 3.6L and other vehicles sends the ECM an analog coolant temperature signal. Also called an engine coolant temperature sensor, it gives the ECM the data to set the air/fuel ratio and run the cooling fan(s) and temperature gauge.
- Thermal conductive grease inside the brass housing increases sensor response time
- Thermal conductive grease gives accurate temperature transfer to the thermistor
- Thermistor placement within the housing is set to ensure proper output
Quick facts
- Part: NTK EF0022 coolant temperature sensor
- Also called: engine coolant temperature sensor
- Fits: 2015 Chevrolet Colorado V6 3.6L and other vehicles
- Material: Brass housing

A check engine light, a temperature gauge that reads erratically or not at all, a cooling fan that acts erratically or never runs, and overheating are all reasons to replace this sensor. A low coolant level, a faulty thermostat, a bad fan motor or damaged wiring can also be behind those signs, so pin down the cause before you buy a sensor.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this work as a Chevy Colorado coolant temperature sensor on a 2015 Colorado V6 3.6L?
Yes. NTK EF0022 is listed for the 2015 Chevrolet Colorado V6 3.6L, which takes one sensor. Other vehicles are listed in the "Vehicles it fits" section.
Does the NTK EF0022 come with mounting clips and an o-ring?
Yes, where the sensor calls for them. Mounting clip(s) are included and the thread sealant or o-ring is already installed where applicable.
What is the housing of this NTK coolant temperature sensor made of?
The housing is brass. Thermal conductive grease inside it increases the sensor's response time.
My temperature gauge reads erratically. Could this sensor be the reason?
It can be. An erratic or dead temperature gauge is a reason to replace this sensor, as are erratic cooling fan operation and a lit check engine light.
Does NTK EF0022 cross-reference to number 12611420?
Yes. 12611420 is one of the other-brand and OE numbers that NTK EF0022 replaces.
