2026 Ford Explorer Air Flow Sensors

Building upon a foundation of premium full-line products established under NGK ignition and oxygen sensor products, NTK’s expansion to technical sensors is part of our ongoing commitment to streamline product types and increase coverage under one premium brand NTK, The Sensor Specialist. With over 80 years of automotive expertise, NGK’s family of automotive products are driven by extreme dedication to innovation, performance and quality. is the only OE supplier with a full line of technical sensors in the aftermarket for import and domestic vehicles. Drawing from OE experience, sensors undergo extreme testing conditions that include thermal shock, vibration and OBD verification. sensors are manufactured to ensure a quality that meets or exceeds OE specifications. As new vehicles incorporate connected and automated technologies, trust The Sensor Specialist for full-line market support and OE application technology.

Product Features:

• OE MATCHED: Wires and probe length match OE. Mounting clips included where applicable
• FASTER RESPONSE TIME: Thermal conductive grease inside brass housing increases sensor response time

The temperature of various systems must be reported to the engine control module (ECM) as well as other operating system controllers in the vehicle. Coolant temperature, cabin temperature, exhaust temperature and ambient temperature are just a few systems reported by a temperature sensor. The temperature sensor is fed 5 volts by the systems computer, within the sensor housing will be a thermistor, or dropping resistor whose resistance value will change as the temperature surrounding it changes. Changing resistance in the circuit will change the volt signal at the processor indicating the current operating value.

Product Features:

• Product constructed to meet all design and operating characteristics as intended by the vehicle manufacturer.
• 100% thermo-shock and vibration tested to ensure superior performance in extreme conditions.
• 100% end-of-line tested to ensure accurate signal output providing product reliability, every time.
• Tin plated lead frame prevents corrosion and ensures a reliable terminal connection under adverse ambient conditions.
• Lead frame terminal size and location determined using image dimension measuring system or 3D laser scanner.
• Application matched components ensures system operation in like new condition.
