NTK EF0037 coolant temperature sensor for the 2011-2015 Chevrolet Cruze 4-cylinder 1.4L or 1.8L and other vehicles reads the temperature of the engine coolant and sends it to the ECM as an analog signal. Also called an engine coolant temperature sensor, it may sit on the cylinder head, engine block, thermostat housing or intake manifold.
- Signal to the ECM supports proper air/fuel ratio, cooling fan operation and temperature gauge readings
- Thermal conductive grease inside the brass housing increases response time and passes temperature accurately to the thermistor
- Thread sealant or o-ring installed where applicable
- Thermistor placed within the housing to give proper output
Quick facts
- Part: NTK EF0037 coolant temperature sensor
- Also called: engine coolant temperature sensor
- Fits: 2011-2015 Chevrolet Cruze 4-cylinder 1.4L or 1.8L and other vehicles
- Material: Brass housing
- Condition: New
A lit check engine light, an erratic or dead temperature gauge, erratic or dead cooling fan operation and engine overheating are reasons to replace this sensor. A stuck thermostat, a faulty fan or a wiring problem can be behind the same signs, so find the cause before you buy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the NTK EF0037 the Chevrolet Cruze temperature sensor for a 2011-2015 car with the 4-cylinder 1.4L or 1.8L?
Yes. NTK EF0037 fits the 2011-2015 Chevrolet Cruze 4-cylinder 1.4L or 1.8L. Owners of other cars can look up their vehicle in the "Vehicles it fits" section.
Is this the right Chevy Sonic coolant temperature sensor for a 2014 Sonic 4-cylinder 1.6L?
Yes. NTK EF0037 fits the 2014 Chevrolet Sonic 4-cylinder 1.6L, as well as the 2012-2020 Sonic 4-cylinder 1.4L and the 2012-2015 Sonic 4-cylinder 1.8L.
Do I get mounting clips and an o-ring with the NTK EF0037?
Yes, where applicable: mounting clips are included, and thread sealant or an o-ring comes installed where the sensor uses one. This listing is one sensor, and each vehicle takes one.
Can an erratic temperature gauge mean this coolant temperature sensor needs replacing?
Yes, it can. Erratic or no gauge operation, erratic or no cooling fan operation and a lit check engine light are all reasons to replace this sensor.
Why does the NTK EF0037 have thermal conductive grease inside its housing?
The grease inside the brass housing increases sensor response time and passes coolant temperature accurately to the thermistor. Thermistor placement within the housing matches OE to ensure proper output.
