Where this component fits
A sensor or control-valve fault code does not necessarily prove the component has failed; wiring, supply conditions and mechanical system behavior can be involved.
Identify the correct part before ordering
Provide the exact sensor marking, sensing location and engine configuration.
Give the sensor marking, connector style and location on the engine. If there is a diagnostic code, include the code and the observed symptom rather than using the code as the part identification.
Replacement and diagnostic questions
Confirm connector, range and system use through correct part identification before replacement.
Check connection, mounting and test results before assuming a sensor or valve is the cause of a code or symptom. Sensor nomenclature can vary across engine families and is not proof of interchangeability.
Common names and related search terms
Related terms include engine oil temperature EOT; engine coolant temperature ECT; diesel fuel temp. Sensor acronyms are useful search terms but are not a substitute for the OEM part number and connector description. Provide the complete part number and intended application when requesting a quote.
