NTK EF0176 coolant temperature sensor for the 2014-2015 Honda Civic 4-cylinder 1.8L or 2.4L, the 2014-2021 Civic 4-cylinder 1.5L, the 2016-2021 Civic 4-cylinder 2.0L and other vehicles measures engine coolant temperature and sends an analog signal to the ECM. Also called an engine coolant temperature sensor, it gives the ECM the reading it uses to help set the air/fuel ratio and to run the cooling fan(s) and the temperature gauge.
- Thermal conductive grease inside the brass housing increases sensor response time
- Thermal conductive grease passes temperature accurately to the thermistor
- Thermistor placement within the housing is set to ensure proper output
- Thread sealant or o-ring installed where applicable
Quick facts
- Part: NTK EF0176 coolant temperature sensor
- Also called: engine coolant temperature sensor
- Fits: the 2014-2015 Honda Civic 4-cylinder 1.8L or 2.4L, the 2014-2021 Civic 4-cylinder 1.5L, the 2016-2021 Civic 4-cylinder 2.0L and other vehicles
- Material: brass housing
- Condition: New
A check engine light, an erratic or dead temperature gauge, or an erratic or dead cooling fan can mean this sensor is worn. A thermostat or a fan relay can sit behind the same signs, so find the cause before you replace anything.
Fits
The 2008-2017 Honda Accord 4-cylinder 2.4L and the 2014-2019 Honda CR-V 4-cylinder 2.4L are among the vehicles this coolant temperature sensor fits, along with the Civic runs named above. Wires and probe length match OE, as does the thermistor placement in the housing. This listing is one sensor, and the 2014-2019 Honda CR-V 4-cylinder 2.4L takes one. If your car is not named here, the "Vehicles it fits" section is where you can look up your year and engine.
