NTK EF0062 coolant temperature sensor for the 2015-2018 Chevrolet Colorado 4-cylinder 2.5L and other vehicles reports coolant temperature to the ECM. The engine coolant temperature sensor's analog signal helps set the air/fuel ratio and run the cooling fan(s) and temperature gauge.
- Thermal conductive grease inside a brass housing for faster sensor response time
- Thermal conductive grease for accurate temperature transfer to the thermistor
- Thermistor placed within the housing to give proper output
- Thread sealant or o-ring installed where applicable
Quick facts
- Part: NTK EF0062 coolant temperature sensor
- Also called: engine coolant temperature sensor
- Fits: 2015-2018 Chevrolet Colorado 4-cylinder 2.5L and other vehicles
- Material: brass housing
- Condition: New
The sensor may sit on the cylinder head, engine block, thermostat housing or intake manifold. A check engine light, an erratic or dead temperature gauge, erratic or no cooling fan operation or overheating can mean the sensor has failed. A stuck thermostat, a weak cooling fan or a wiring fault can sit behind those signs too, so find the cause before buying a sensor.
Fits
This coolant temperature sensor is a direct-fit replacement for the 2013-2015 Chevrolet Malibu 4-cylinder 2.5L and the 2013-2022 Malibu 4-cylinder 2.0L, and it is a coolant temperature sensor for the 2018-2020 Chevy Equinox 4-cylinder 2.0L. Wires, probe length and thermistor placement match OE. For any other car, find your year and engine in the "Vehicles it fits" section. This listing is one sensor, and the cars named here take a single sensor per engine.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the NTK EF0062 the right coolant temperature sensor for a 2015-2018 Chevy Colorado 4-cylinder 2.5L?
Yes. NTK EF0062 is listed for the 2015-2018 Chevrolet Colorado 4-cylinder 2.5L, and that engine takes one sensor.
Is this the right coolant temperature sensor for a 2013-2015 Chevy Malibu 4-cylinder 2.5L?
Yes. It fits the 2013-2015 Chevrolet Malibu 4-cylinder 2.5L and the 2013-2022 Malibu 4-cylinder 2.0L. For another car, look up your year and engine in the "Vehicles it fits" section.
Does the NTK EF0062 come with mounting clips and an o-ring?
Mounting clip(s) are included where applicable, and the thread sealant or o-ring comes installed where applicable. The sensor itself is sold as one piece.
What does the thermal conductive grease inside this sensor's brass housing do?
It increases sensor response time and carries coolant temperature to the thermistor accurately. NTK EF0062 also places the thermistor within the housing to match OE for proper output.
Can a failed coolant temperature sensor make the temperature gauge act up?
Yes. An erratic or dead temperature gauge can mean the sensor has failed, as can a check engine light, erratic or no cooling fan operation or engine overheating.
