Brand: CAT
SKU: 296-1406
Availability: InStock

This is a temperature sensor designed to monitor engine coolant or oil temperature, crucial for the engine's thermal management system. It ensures accurate readings to prevent overheating and maintain optimal operating conditions, unlike a worn sensor that provides erratic or no data. Operators may notice abnormal temperature gauge readings, unexpected fan activation, or engine derating if this sensor fails.

Installation & Application Notes

Inspect mating surfaces for wear before fitting. Use torque specs from service manual. Replace gaskets and seals as a set — reusing compressed gaskets causes oil leaks. Clean all oil passages with compressed air.

Always consult the OEM service manual for model-specific torque values and procedures. WhatsApp our technical team if you need fitment guidance.

Failure Symptoms

An initial sign of failure may be an inaccurate or fluctuating temperature gauge reading. If ignored, the engine control module may receive incorrect data, leading to improper fuel delivery or cooling fan operation. This can result in increased wear on engine components due to suboptimal operating temperatures.

Installation Tip

Ensure the sensor port threads are clean and free of debris before installation to achieve a proper seal. Avoid overtightening the sensor, as this can damage the threads in the engine block or cylinder head.

Service Note

Inspect the engine coolant level and condition, and check the cooling fan operation when replacing the temperature sensor.
