FAQ

This sensor is compatible with a wide range of Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, GMC, Pontiac, Saturn, and Suzuki vehicles produced between 2004 and 2017. Common applications include the Buick Enclave, LaCrosse, and Rendezvous; Cadillac CTS, SRX, and STS; Chevrolet Camaro, Malibu, and Equinox; and GMC Acadia and Traverse.
A failing sensor often causes the 'Check Engine' light to illuminate, inaccurate temperature gauge readings, poor fuel economy, or engine overheating warnings. You may also notice rough idling, black smoke from the exhaust, or the cooling fan running continuously even when the engine is cold.
This sensor replaces OEM part number 213-4777 and is also cross-referenced with GM part number 12639899.
Installation is generally straightforward and can be completed in about 30 to 60 minutes. You will typically need a deep-well socket, a ratchet, and a drain pan to catch the small amount of coolant that will escape when the old sensor is removed. Always ensure the engine is completely cool before starting the repair to avoid burns.
Yes, ensure the engine is cold before beginning. Because you are opening the cooling system, you will lose a small amount of coolant; be prepared to top off your coolant reservoir and bleed any trapped air from the system after the new sensor is installed to prevent overheating.
