Engineered for maximum performance and durability, our products are built to excel in even the most demanding conditions, ensuring reliable operation and long-lasting value.

The engine coolant temperature sender, not to be confused with the engine coolant temperature sensor, is located anywhere within the engine cooling system and contains a thermistor that changes in resistance value as the thermistors ambient temperature changes. The engine coolant temperature sender is fed 12 volts and is typically used in conjunction with a gauge in the instrument cluster to provide a visual representation of the engine coolant temperature condition.
