BRAND NEW *OEM Quality* cylinder head temperature sensor to suit Ford Falcon AU BA BF FG FGX / Fairlane / Fairmont / LTD / Territory / Explorer / Transit VM / Focus / Escape / Mondeo and Mazda 3 / 6 / CX-7 / MX-5.

If your cooling fans are running at full speed, your temp gauge is spiking, or your Falcon or Territory has gone into limp mode - a failed CHT sensor is one of the most common causes. This is a direct-fit M10 replacement that restores normal ECU operation and clears fail-safe cooling mode. Same-day dispatch from Melbourne.

TO SUIT

Suits the full range of Ford Barra 4.0L engines across Falcon AU through FGX (1998-2016) including XR6 Turbo and FPV models, Territory SX SY SZ (2004-2016), Fairlane and Fairmont AU BA BF, and Ford LTD AU. Also suits Explorer 4.0L V6 (1996-2008), Focus LS-LV 2.0L Duratec, Escape 2.3L, Mondeo 2.0L-2.3L, Transit VM 2.2L-2.4L, and Mazda 3 / 6 / CX-7 / MX-5 with compatible Ford-based engines. M10x1.5 thread - 2-pin clip connector.

FITMENT CHECK

FG and FGX Falcons were produced with both M10 and M12 CHT sensors depending on build date and engine variant. This listing is for the M10x1.5 thread version. Physically measure the thread on your original sensor or check with a Ford dealer before ordering.

PACKAGE INCLUDES

1 x cylinder head temperature sensor. M10x1.5 thread. 2-pin clip connector. 19mm spanner. Direct plug-in replacement - no wiring modification required.

ABOUT THIS SENSOR

The cylinder head temperature (CHT) sensor screws directly into a dry port in the cylinder head and measures actual metal temperature - not coolant temperature. Ford uses this as the primary overtemperature signal on the Barra, Boss, Duratec, and T40 V6 engines. When the CHT reading rises above threshold, the PCM activates fail-safe cooling mode: fans run at maximum speed, power is reduced, and cylinder firing is alternated to allow air-cooling even in a total coolant loss event.

A failed or out-of-range CHT sensor causes the ECU to read incorrectly high temperatures at all times, triggering fail-safe mode permanently. The result is fans screaming at idle, reduced power, and fault codes pointing to what appears to be an overheating fault - even on a cold engine.

COMMON SYMPTOMS OF FAILURE

Cooling fans running at full speed constantly - even at cold start
Engine in limp mode or reduced power without genuine overheating
Temperature gauge spiking high or reading erratically
Check engine light with codes P1288 / P1289 / P1290 / P1299
Increased fuel consumption from incorrect ECU fuelling corrections
Engine stalls or hunts at idle

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.
