Coolant sensor

The coolant sensor is one of the most important sensors of the car. This sensor is of great importance for the engine to perform well. The temperature of the coolant is constantly measured. With that information, the car's system can determine when and how much fuel needs to be transported to the engine for the best engine performance. When the engine is cold, for example, it uses more fuel than when the engine is warm. The engine is also protected against overheating. If the sensor senses that the engine temperature is getting too high, this will also be passed on to the system to turn on the radiator fan. This prevents wear and overheating of the engine parts.

Coolant temperature sensor broken

When the coolant temperature sensor is broken, it can seriously affect the performance of the engine. For example, it can happen that the sensor constantly sends out the signal that the engine is hot or cold. This results in the engine being supplied with too little fuel at all times and therefore cannot perform well. The engine can also overheat.

A broken coolant sensor can also be recognized by the Check Engine light which will illuminate in the dashboard in the event of a malfunction. When the Check Engine light becomes visible, it is always important to read the car's computer to see where the fault is. Problems can also arise when starting the car if there are problems with the coolant sensor. The engine is not being supplied with the correct fuel supply.

Replace coolant temperature sensor

Replacing the coolant sensor is not a difficult job in itself. However, you should take plenty of time to properly prepare the coolant system for this. Note that the radiator must be drained before replacing the sensor. After replacing the coolant sensor, new coolant will also have to be added. Would you rather have the job done at the garage? Then make sure you buy the temperature sensor from Winparts and deliver it to the garage yourself. This way you save a lot of costs on expensive parts at the garage.

Coolant sensor

The coolant sensor is also called the coolant temperature sensor. This sensor measures the temperature of the engine's coolant. On the basis of this data, the computer system can calculate when and how much fuel must be transported to the engine. The engine needs more fuel when it is cold started than when the engine is fully warmed up. A properly functioning coolant sensor is therefore of great importance for optimal engine performance. Enter the car model on the website and you can easily navigate to the right parts.
