Standard Ignition Engine Oil Temperature Sensor P/N:TX263
Keep an eye on transfer case fluid temperature with the Standard Ignition Transfer Case Oil Temperature Sensor (TX379). It installs as a direct-fit replacement on the 2012 Ford Explorer [All], threading into the transfer case sensor port to read the temperature of the oil inside and report that signal to the vehicle's control module.
Standard Ignition builds this sensor specifically for Ford applications, so it connects through the vehicle's existing connector.
Signs this sensor may need replacing include erratic or inaccurate temperature readings, a warning message, or a stored transfer-case temperature trouble code. Those symptoms can have other causes, so diagnose the fault first — if a failed temperature sensor is the cause, this replaces it. Country of origin: Mexico.
