Coolant inside the engine block and cylinder head(s) absorbs heat from the cylinders when the engine is running. The coolant sensor detects the change in temperature and signals the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) so it can tell if the engine is cold, warming up, at normal operating temperature or overheating.\u003cbr\u003eThe coolant sensor is extremely important because the sensor's input to the PCM affects the operating strategy of the entire engine management system. That's why the coolant sensor is often called the \"master\" sensor.\u003cbr\u003eMany of the fuel, ignition, emissions and drivetrain functions handled by the PCM are affected by the engine's operating temperature. A different operating strategy is used when the engine is cold than when it is warm. This is done to improve cold driveability, idle quality and emissions. Consequently, if the coolant sensor fails or is giving the PCM a false reading, it can upset a lot of things.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"font-size:14px;\"\u003eSpecification:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:13px;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThread Size: 3\/8″-18NPTF\u003cbr\u003eSpanner size: 19 mm\u003cbr\u003eSensor Type: NTC Sensor\u003cbr\u003eNumber of pins: 2-pin connector\u003cbr\u003eConnector Shape: oval\u003cbr\u003eSocket Color: Black\u003cbr\u003eReference Number: Suitable for 12146312, 1532638, 15326386, 1236302, 1338450\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"font-size:14px;\"\u003eCompatible with:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:13px;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSuitable For Holden 1995-1997 Commodore VS 3.8L V6 Sedan\u003cbr\u003eSuitable For Holden 1995-1997 Commodore VS 3.8L V6 Wagon\u003cbr\u003eSuitable For Holden 1995-1997 Commodore VS 3.8L V6 Supercharged Sedan\u003cbr\u003eSuitable For Holden 1995-2000 Commodore VS 3.8L V6 Ute\u003cbr\u003eSuitable For Holden 1997-2000 Commodore VT 3.8L V6 Sedan\u003cbr\u003eSuitable For Holden 1997-2000 Commodore VT 3.8L V6 Supercharged Sedan\u003cbr\u003eSuitable For Holden 1997-2002 Commodore VT 3.8L V6 Wagon\u003cbr\u003eSuitable For Holden 2000-2002 Commodore VU 3.8L V6 Ute\u003cbr\u003eSuitable For Holden 2000-2002 Commodore VX 3.8L V6 Sedan\u003cbr\u003eSuitable For Holden 2000-2002 Commodore VX 3.8L V6 Wagon\u003cbr\u003eSuitable For Holden 2000-2002 Commodore VX 3.8L V6 Supercharged Sedan\u003cbr\u003eSuitable For Holden 2002-2004 Commodore VY 3.8L V6 Sedan\u003cbr\u003eSuitable For Holden 2002-2004 Commodore VY 3.8L V6 Ute\u003cbr\u003eSuitable For Holden 2002-2004 Commodore VY 3.8L V6 Wagon\u003cbr\u003eSuitable For Holden 2002-2004 Commodore VY 3.8L V6 Supercharged Sedan\u003cbr\u003eSuitable For Holden 2002-2004 Commodore VY 3.8L V6 Supercharged Ute\u003cbr\u003eSuitable For Holden - Statesman VS,WH,WK 3.8L V6\u003cbr\u003eSuitable For Holden - Statesman VS,WH,WK 3.8L V6 Supercharged\u003cbr\u003eSuitable For Holden 4\/1992-1\/1998 Jackaroo UBS92 3.2L\u003cbr\u003eSuitable For Holden 2\/1998 on Jackaroo UBS98 3.5L\u003cbr\u003eSuitable For Holden 12\/1997-on Jackaroo Diesel 3.0L Turbo\u003cbr\u003eSuitable For Holden 2008-on Colorado RC 2.4L\u003cbr\u003eSuitable For Holden 4\/1999-7\/2002 Frontera UT 3.2L\u003cbr\u003eSuitable For Holden 1997-2002 Rodeo TF 3.2L\u003cbr\u003eSuitable For Holden 1999-2002 Rodeo TF 2.2L\u003cbr\u003eSuitable For Holden 2003-2006 Rodeo RA 2.4L\u003cbr\u003eSuitable For Holden 2003-2006 Rodeo RA 3.5L\u003cbr\u003eSuitable For Holden 2007 On Rodeo RA 2.4L\u003cbr\u003eSuitable For Holden 2\/1998-8\/1999 Suburban 5.7L Vortec L31\u003cbr\u003eSuitable For Holden 2\/1998-8\/1999 Suburban Diesel 6.5L Turbo L65\u003cbr\u003eSuitable For Pontiac 1984-1988 Fiero 2.5L\u003cbr\u003eSuitable For Pontiac 1985-1988 Fiero 2.8L\u003cbr\u003eSuitable For Pontiac 1985-1989 Grand Am 2.0L\u003cbr\u003eSuitable For Pontiac 1985-1989 Grand Am 3.0L\u003cbr\u003eSuitable For Toyota 5\/1995-8\/1997 Lexcen VS 3.8L\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"font-size:14px;\"\u003ePackage Including:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:13px;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1x Coolant Engine Temperature Sensor\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MAXCOOL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48234382098661,"sku":"47HL010","price":51.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0786\/5371\/8757\/files\/coolant-temperature-sensor-suitable-for-holden-commodore-vs-vt-vx-vy-1995-2004-38l-6664176.jpg?v=1768362436","url":"https:\/\/frazysautoparts.com\/products\/coolant-sensor-holden-vs-vy-3-8l","provider":"Frazy's Auto Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
