Oil Temp Sensor for Holden Rodeo RA TF Jackaroo UBS Frontera 97036606
Heavy Duty Fit Replaces 97036606
BRAND NEW *OEM Quality* oil/coolant temperature sensor to suit Holden Rodeo Jackaroo and Frontera 4x4 models.
On the Rodeo diesel this sensor is used for oil temperature and thermal EGR control rather than coolant, which is worth knowing before you order - see the fitment note below. Low fault rate direct connector match. Packed and shipped from Cranbourne VIC.
TO SUIT
Covers the Holden Rodeo TF (petrol 2.6L 4ZE1 and 3.0L turbo-diesel 4JH1-TC) and RA (3.0L turbo-diesel 4JH1-TC), Jackaroo/Monterey UBS (2.6L petrol through to 3.5L V6), and Frontera UT/UES, from 1988 to 2007. Full year-by-year coverage is listed in the vehicle compatibility section below.

ABOUT THIS SENSOR
On the Rodeo TF and RA diesel (4JH1-TC) this sensor is fitted to sense oil temperature for the thermal EGR control strategy, not coolant temperature - a common source of confusion since it looks and connects identically to the coolant version fitted to the petrol Rodeo, Jackaroo and Frontera.
A failing sensor on the diesel models can upset EGR timing and cause rough cold running or excess smoke, while on the petrol 2.6L and V6 models it behaves as a standard coolant sensor fault affecting fan control and cold enrichment.
COMMON SYMPTOMS OF FAILURE
- Rough cold running or excess smoke on RA/TF diesel models (EGR timing affected)
- Check Engine Light with DTC P0116, P0117 or P0118
- Radiator fan running constantly or not switching on (petrol models)
- Poor cold-start fuel enrichment on petrol Jackaroo and Frontera

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.
