Febi 01300 Coolant Temperature Sensor

Description

This Febi Coolant Temperature Sensor accurately monitors the engine coolant temperature, providing critical data for optimal engine performance. It is commonly used in various engine cooling systems. This sensor ensures reliable temperature readings for efficient engine operation. The sensor features an M14 x 1,5 thread, a single connection, switches at 120 ° C, and operates at 24 Volts. It is manufactured in Brazil and measures 60 x 33 x 33 mm.

Key Features & Benefits

This little guy basically measures the temperature of your engine’s coolant. It’s a resistor, really, and as the coolant gets hotter or colder, the electrical resistance inside the sensor changes. It sends that information—that resistance reading—back to your car’s computer, the engine control unit, or ECU. The ECU uses that temperature reading to adjust a lot of things. Think about it like this: when your engine is cold, the computer wants to give it more fuel to help it warm up quickly. When the engine is at its normal operating temperature, it leans the mixture out for better fuel economy. The coolant temp sensor is how the computer knows what’s happening with the engine temperature. It also controls things like when the cooling fan kicks on, or even how the transmission shifts in some vehicles. It’s a critical piece of that whole puzzle.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

If this sensor fails, the computer gets bad information. You might notice a few things. It could cause your engine to run rich – meaning you get poor gas mileage and potentially damage the catalytic converter. Or it could run lean and overheat. You’ll notice if your engine is taking a long time to warm up, if the fan isn't working right, or if you're getting a check engine light. A faulty sensor can really throw things off. We carry a good selection of these, you can find a lot of options on Fixparts Online. Replacing it is usually pretty straightforward, but it’s one of those things that’s best to address quickly before it leads to bigger issues. Product information is provided for reference only.
