Technical Service Bulletin # 348
Date: 840101
Recall - Coolant Temperature Sensor & Connector
348
January, 1984
TO:
All Chrysler-Plymouth & Dodge Dealers
SUBJECT:
Customer Satisfaction Recall #348 - Coolant Temperature Sensor and Connector Replacement
MODELS:
1984 Dodge 600 and Daytona; Chrysler E-Class, New Yorker, Laser and LeBaron Passenger Cars Equipped With 2.2L EFI or 2.2L
Turbocharged Engines
Coolant temperature sensors on the listed models may fail in the cold mode due to a supplier quality problem. Failure during vehicle operation will result
in activation of the "Power Limited" or "Power Loss" diagnostic signal light, but should not significantly affect engine performance. However, after the
ignition switch has been turned to the "off" position, a warm engine may not restart. To avoid this problem, the coolant temperature sensor on each
involved vehicle must be replaced. An improved connector which recently entered production will also be installed on those involved vehicles which do
not already have it.. Both parts have been revised for improved durability. In addition, a quick-disconnect is provided in one lead of the new connector.
This is to be used when setting engine idle speed or timing, instead of disconnecting at the sensor.
Information to assist in completion of the recall service is detailed in the following sections.

request.
Parts
Replacement coolant temperature sensor and connector packages, Recall Part Number C3940125, are being mailed free of charge to all involved dealers
before owners are notified of the recall. Each dealer will receive enough parts to service 75% of the cars shown on the corresponding vehicle list. This
should be sufficient to meet most or all recall service requirements. Additional parts may be ordered from parts depots without charge if and when they
are needed. Please do not place additional orders before existing supplies are used.
Owner Notification and Recall Service Scheduling
All involved vehicle owners known to (Chrysler are being notified of the recall by mail. A copy of the notification letter is attached. Enclosed with each
letter is a Claim Form #83-295-0018, (10/82). Owners are instructed to give the forms to their dealers at the time of recall service. Copy 1 contains
owner and dealer procedures and a Recall Parts Return Tag. Copy 2 is for the dealer claim and copy 3 for dealer records.
Claim forms for vehicles whose owners are not known to Chrysler will be mailed to the dealers to whom the vehicles were invoiced, for dealer
follow-up.
Every dealer is responsible for prompt, courteous scheduling of recall service for all involved vehicles upon request, regardless of where they were
purchased. This is essential to meet our important common goal of getting the recall done. It will also promote improved customer satisfaction which
benefits Chrysler and dealers alike.
