BRAND NEW *OEM Quality* M10 cylinder head temperature sensor to suit Ford Falcon AU BA BF FG FGX 4.0L Barra / 5.4L Boss V8 and FPV GT / GTS / Typhoon / Force 6 / F6.

Fans running at full blast on your Barra or Boss? Engine in limp mode but not actually overheating? This is the direct-fit M10 CHT sensor that resets fail-safe cooling mode and puts the ECU back in control. Stocked in Melbourne - same-day dispatch.

TO SUIT

Suits all Ford Falcon AU through FGX with the 4.0L Barra engine (BARRA 182 / 190 / 195 / 156 LPG / EcoLPi) from 1998 to 2016, including XR6 Turbo (BARRA 240T / 245T / 270T / 310T) and the FPV range (GT / GTS / Typhoon / Force 6 / F6 Tornado). Also suits Fairlane AU BA BF and LTD AU with the 4.0L Intech and Barra engines. Connector: 2-pin clip. Thread: M10x1.5.

FITMENT CHECK

FG and FGX Falcons were built with both M10 and M12 CHT sensors across the production run. This is the M10x1.5 thread version. Physically measure the thread on your original sensor before ordering - the connectors are also different between the two variants, so a visual check of your current plug will confirm which you need.

ABOUT THIS SENSOR

The cylinder head temperature (CHT) sensor screws into a dry port in the cylinder head and measures actual metal temperature - not coolant. On Barra and Boss engines the PCM uses this as the primary overtemperature signal to activate fail-safe cooling mode: fans at 100%, reduced power, and alternating cylinder firing to air-cool the engine even with zero coolant. It is Ford's last line of defence against a warped aluminium head.

A failed CHT sensor reads incorrectly high temperature continuously - triggering permanent fail-safe mode without any actual overheating. Replacing the sensor immediately clears the condition and returns the engine to normal operation.

COMMON SYMPTOMS OF FAILURE

Cooling fans running at maximum speed constantly - including cold start
Engine in limp mode or noticeably down on power
Temperature gauge spiking or reading falsely high
Check engine light with codes P1288 / P1289 / P1290 / P1299
Increased fuel consumption from ECU over-enrichment
Rough idle or engine hunting

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.
