• Description:

  This genuine Motorcraft air charge temperature sensor, catalog number DY-1146, measures the temperature of the intake air entering the engine and reports it to the powertrain control module as a variable signal. The module combines that intake-air temperature reading with mass airflow and manifold pressure data to calculate air density, then trims fuel delivery and ignition timing so the engine runs efficiently across cold and hot operating conditions. It is a broad, cross-platform Ford service part used across many 2011-2020 Ford applications. When this sensor drifts or fails, the check-engine light typically sets intake-air-temperature codes in the P0110, P0111, P0112, or P0113 range, and drivers may notice hard starting, hesitation, rough idle, reduced power, pinging or knock under load, and poor fuel economy because the module is calculating charge density from an inaccurate temperature value. Because the element sits directly in the incoming air stream, contamination and heat cycling gradually degrade its accuracy, so fitting a correct Motorcraft unit restores proper air-density calculation and smooth driveability. This is the original-equipment Motorcraft component listed by Ford as air charge temperature sensor DY-1146, and it uses the factory connector and mounting form for a direct fit. Inspect the sensor bore and electrical connector for oil film or debris before installing, seat the new sensor fully, and clear any stored trouble codes after replacement. Fitment covers a wide span of model years, so verify the sensor location and connector style against your specific vehicle before ordering.
