NTK EF0097 right coolant temperature sensor for the 1999-2001 Hyundai Sonata and other vehicles sends the ECM an analog signal of the engine coolant's temperature. The ECM uses that signal to set the air/fuel ratio and to run the cooling fan(s) and the temperature gauge.
- Thermal conductive grease inside a brass housing increases sensor response time
- Thermal conductive grease passes temperature to the thermistor accurately
- Thread sealant or an o-ring is installed where applicable
- Thermistor placed within the housing to ensure proper output
Quick facts
- Part: NTK EF0097 coolant temperature sensor
- Also called: engine coolant temperature sensor
- Fits: 1999-2001 Hyundai Sonata and other vehicles
- Position: Right
- Condition: New
A check engine light, an erratic or dead temperature gauge, or an erratic or dead cooling fan can mean the engine coolant temperature sensor is failing, but wiring or cooling-system faults produce the same symptoms. With the engine cool, look over the sensor, its connector and its wires for damage or coolant seepage before replacing it.
Fits
The 1999-2001 Hyundai Sonata, the 2008-2017 Mitsubishi Lancer and the 2011-2015 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport 4-cylinder 2.0L are among the vehicles it fits. Wires and probe length match OE. This listing is one sensor; the 2008-2017 Mitsubishi Lancer takes one. If your car is not named here, look it up by year, make and engine in the "Vehicles it fits" section.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this coolant temperature sensor suit a 1999-2001 Hyundai Sonata?
Yes. NTK EF0097 fits the 1999-2001 Hyundai Sonata, and the car takes one sensor.
Is this a Lancer coolant temperature sensor for the 2008-2017 Mitsubishi Lancer?
Yes. NTK EF0097 fits the 2008-2017 Mitsubishi Lancer, and the car takes one sensor.
What is inside the housing of the NTK EF0097 sensor?
The brass housing holds thermal conductive grease. It speeds up the sensor's response time and carries temperature to the thermistor accurately.
Does the NTK EF0097 come with a mounting clip?
Mounting clip(s) are included where applicable, and thread sealant or an o-ring is installed where applicable. This listing is a single sensor.
When is it time to replace an NTK EF0097 coolant temperature sensor?
Engine overheating or a cooling fan that runs erratically or not at all can mean the sensor needs replacing. Wiring or cooling faults can look the same, so a shop can test the sensor's signal.
