Standard Ignition TX262 automatic transmission fluid temperature sensor for the 2013-2017 Ram 3500 and other vehicles reports transmission fluid temperature to the vehicle as an electrical signal.
- Copper alloy conductors for electrical conductivity with low resistive losses
- Design process aimed at durability and at the output curves needed to prevent temperature misreading
- Two male blade terminals with brass contacts in a female oval plug-in connector
Quick facts
- Part: Standard Ignition TX262 automatic transmission fluid temperature sensor
- Also called: automatic transmission oil temperature sensor
- Fits: 2013-2017 Ram 3500 and other vehicles
- Material: Brass; Plastic
- Condition: New
A transmission temperature reading that looks wrong, or a related warning light, can mean the sensor is failing. A damaged wiring harness, a corroded connector or a problem in the transmission itself can produce those readings too, so find the cause before you buy a sensor.
Fits
Fitment includes the 2013-2017 Ram 3500, the 2011-2017 Ram 4500 and the 2011-2017 Ram 5500, and the sensor is a direct-fit replacement for these vehicles. If your vehicle is not named here, look up its year and model in the "Vehicles it fits" section.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Standard Ignition TX262 right for a 2011-2017 Ram 4500?
Yes, the Standard Ignition TX262 automatic transmission fluid temperature sensor is a direct-fit replacement for the 2011-2017 Ram 4500; for another vehicle, check the "Vehicles it fits" section.
Does the TX262 sensor come with a wiring harness or splice connectors?
No, this listing is one sensor, and the wiring harness, dust shield and splice connectors are not included.
What kind of connector does the Standard Ignition TX262 use?
The Standard Ignition TX262 has one female oval plug-in connector with two male blade terminals. The terminal contacts are brass.
Is this transmission fluid temperature sensor water resistant?
No, this sensor is not water resistant or weatherproof sealed. It is made of brass and plastic, with brass contact terminals.
Why does the TX262 use copper alloy conductors?
The copper alloy conductors give electrical conductivity with low resistive losses. The TX262 design also targets the output curves needed to prevent temperature misreading.
