BRAND NEW *OEM Quality* engine coolant temperature sensor to suit Hyundai Excel Getz Elantra XD Lantra Coupe Tucson JM and Kia Cerato LD.

A faulty coolant temperature sensor feeds the ECU a false engine temperature - hard cold starts, black smoke, high idle, poor economy and a radiator fan that runs at the wrong time. Swap it in a few minutes and the engine runs right again - dispatched same-day before 12pm from Cranbourne VIC.

TO SUIT

Made for the Hyundai Excel X2 and X3 1.5L, Getz TB 1.3L G4EA, Elantra XD 2.0L G4GC, Lantra J2 1.8L and 2.0L, Coupe RD 1.8L and 2.0L, S Coupe 1.5L including Turbo and Tucson JM 2.0L G4GC and 2.7L V6 G6BA, plus the Kia Cerato LD 2.0L G4GC. See the compatibility tab for exact engines and years.

FITMENT CHECK

This is the 2-pin ECU coolant sensor with a rectangular plug, M12 x 1.5 thread and 19mm hex. The housing is green and replaces the original blue sensor. It is NOT the single-pin gauge sender. On the Getz and Elantra XD compare your old sensor before ordering - it should read 39220-22000, 39220-22010 or 39220-22020.

ABOUT THIS SENSOR

The coolant temperature sensor is a thermistor - its resistance drops as the engine warms. The ECU reads it to set cold-start fuelling, idle speed and ignition timing, and on many of these models to switch the radiator fan.

The Excel, Lantra and early Tucson are now 15 to 30 years old. The original sensors drift out of range with age, so the ECU thinks the engine is colder than it is and runs rich - a common cause of failed emissions tests and fouled plugs on these cars.

COMMON SYMPTOMS OF FAILURE

Hard starting when hot or cold
Black smoke and rich running
High or hunting idle
Radiator fan running constantly or not at all
Check engine light with codes P0115 P0117 or P0118

How do I test a coolant temperature sensor?

The most common test is to measure the sensor resistance with a multimeter at a known coolant temperature and compare against the manufacturer resistance curve. A cold engine (20 degrees C) typically reads 2,000 to 3,000 ohms and drops to around 200 to 300 ohms at operating temperature (90 degrees C). An OBD2 scanner showing a fixed temperature reading that does not change as the engine warms up is also a strong indicator of sensor failure.

Can a faulty coolant temperature sensor cause my engine to overheat?

Indirectly yes. If the sensor reports a lower temperature than actual, the ECU may not activate the cooling fan at the correct time, allowing the engine to overheat. It can also suppress the dashboard warning light, meaning you may not be alerted until the engine is already at a dangerously high temperature. Replace a suspected faulty sensor promptly.

Do I need to drain the coolant to replace the sensor?

Not always - many coolant temperature sensors can be replaced quickly with minimal coolant loss if you work fast and have a replacement ready to thread in immediately. However on some vehicles the sensor location requires partial coolant drainage. Check the sensor position on your specific engine before starting. Always use fresh coolant when topping up after replacement.

What are the symptoms of a faulty coolant temperature sensor?

Symptoms include poor fuel economy, black smoke, engine overheating warning, incorrect temperature gauge reading, hard starting when cold, and rough idle. Fault codes P0115 to P0119 are commonly associated with coolant temperature sensor faults.

Is it safe to drive with a bad coolant temperature sensor?

A faulty coolant temperature sensor can cause the ECU to run rich fuel mixtures and prevent the cooling fan from operating correctly, risking engine overheating. Replace it promptly - it is a low-cost part that can prevent expensive engine damage.

How do I know if my coolant temperature sensor or my thermostat is faulty?

A faulty thermostat typically causes the engine to overheat or never reach operating temperature. A faulty coolant temp sensor causes incorrect gauge readings and running issues but the coolant itself may be at the correct temperature. An OBD2 scanner showing live coolant temp data helps distinguish between the two.

Are there two coolant temperature sensors on my vehicle?

Many vehicles have two sensors - one for the ECU (engine management) and one for the dashboard temperature gauge. They look similar but are not interchangeable. Check your vehicle's service manual or contact us with your vehicle details to confirm which sensor you need.
