XDP Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Sensor 11-16 Ford 6.7L Powerstroke
Description
When your truck's coolant temperature readings become inconsistent or a check engine light comes on, a faulty engine coolant temperature sensor could be the cause. The XDP Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Sensor XD1041 is a direct-fit replacement for the factory sensor on 2011-2016 Ford 6.7L Powerstroke trucks. It measures engine coolant temperature and sends that information to the engine control module (ECM), helping restore accurate temperature monitoring when replacing a failed sensor.
The XD1041 is built with durable materials designed to withstand the repeated heating and cooling cycles of your truck's engine. Manufactured to meet OE specifications, it fits in place of the original sensor without requiring modifications. This sensor can replace either the ECT1 or ECT2 sensor, depending on which one needs replacing. Ford changed the location of the ECT2 sensor in 2015, so be sure to identify the correct sensor location before installation.
Sensor Mounting Locations:
2011-2016 ECT1: Located in the coolant crossover next to the thermostat housing.
2011-2014 ECT2: Located in the EGR cooler.
2015-2016 ECT2: Located in a T-fitting in the coolant line at the right front of the engine compartment. This location can be accessed by removing the air box.
IMPORTANT FITMENT NOTE: The XD1041 fits both ECT1 and ECT2 sensor positions on Ford 6.7L Powerstroke engines. The ECT2 sensor location varies by model year. Verify your truck's year and the sensor location before ordering.
