Coolant Temperature Sensor - V8 EFI for the engine management system.

This sensor monitors coolant temperature and sends a continuous signal to the engine management ECU, which uses it to adjust fuel injection timing and duration across the warm-up cycle and at steady operating temperature. As a thermistor-type sensor, its internal resistance changes with coolant temperature to provide the ECU with an accurate reading. A failed or drifting sensor can cause difficult cold starting, incorrect idle, or increased fuel consumption as the ECU operates outside of the correct temperature correction map.

Frequently asked questions

What does the ETC8496 coolant temperature sensor do on a V8 Land Rover?

ETC8496 is an OEM Lucas coolant temperature sensor for V8 EFI engine management. It measures coolant temperature and sends a continuous signal to the ECU, which uses it to control fuel injection mapping across the warm-up cycle and at operating temperature.

What causes the ETC8496 temperature sensor to fail?

Temperature sensors typically fail as the internal thermistor drifts over time or the connector corrodes. Symptoms on V8 EFI engines include difficult cold starts, incorrect idle speed, poor fuel economy, and an overly rich or lean condition as the ECU falls back to a default map.

How do I verify ETC8496 fits my V8 Land Rover?

ETC8496 fits Defender 1987-2006 V8 EFI, Discovery 1 V8 EFI from VIN FA393361 to WA799999, Range Rover Classic V8 EFI (to HA610293 and from JA610294), and Range Rover P38 4.0L/4.6L V8 to VIN WA410481. Cross-references include EAC3927L and DBC3728.
