NTK EF0160 right coolant temperature sensor for the 2006-2009 Ford Fusion 4-cylinder 2.3L and other vehicles reports engine coolant temperature to the ECM. This engine coolant temperature sensor may be located on the cylinder head, engine block, thermostat housing or intake manifold.
- Analog signal to the ECM supports the air/fuel ratio, cooling fan operation and the temperature gauge
- Mounting clips included where applicable
- Thermal conductive grease inside a brass housing shortens sensor response time
- Thread sealant or an o-ring is installed where applicable
Quick facts
- Part: NTK EF0160 coolant temperature sensor
- Also called: engine coolant temperature sensor
- Fits: 2006-2009 Ford Fusion 4-cylinder 2.3L and other vehicles
- Position: Right
- Material: Brass housing
- Condition: New
A failing sensor can show up as a check engine light, an erratic or dead temperature gauge, an erratic or dead cooling fan, or overheating. A low coolant level is another common source of overheating and gauge trouble, so these signs alone do not point to this sensor.
Fits
It is listed for a wide range of Ford, Mazda, Mercury and Jaguar models, including as a coolant temperature sensor for the 2001-2003 Ford Ranger 4-cylinder 2.3L or V6 4.0L and for the 1997-2001 Ford Explorer V6 4.0L. If your car is not named here, look up its year, model and engine in the "Vehicles it fits" section. Wires, probe length and thermistor placement match OE. This listing is one sensor, and the 2006-2009 Ford Fusion 4-cylinder 2.3L takes one.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a coolant sensor for the 2006-2009 Ford Fusion 4-cylinder 2.3L?
Yes. NTK EF0160 is listed for the 2006-2009 Ford Fusion 4-cylinder 2.3L, and drivers of other cars can look up their own year and engine in the "Vehicles it fits" section.
What is the NTK EF0160 sensor housing made of?
The NTK EF0160 has a brass housing. Thermal conductive grease inside it shortens the sensor's response time and carries temperature accurately to the thermistor.
Could an erratic temperature gauge mean this sensor needs replacing?
Yes, it can. An erratic or dead temperature gauge, an erratic or dead cooling fan and a check engine light are among the reasons given for replacing this sensor.
Do the clips and o-ring come with the NTK EF0160?
Mounting clips are included where applicable on the NTK EF0160, and thread sealant or an o-ring comes already installed where applicable. The listing is a single sensor.
Does the NTK EF0160 match OE wire and probe length?
Yes. On the NTK EF0160 the wires and probe length match OE, and the thermistor sits in the housing in the same placement as the OE sensor.
