Genuine CNH 50 mm Straight Temperature Sensor Probe for Case IH Maxxum, New Holland T6 & Steyr Profi / CVT Tractors - Part Number: 38017890
The electronic temperature sensor probe with a 50 mm straight stem (part number 38017890, original CNH OEM references SKT-1016, I47478995, 47478995, SKT1016) is an OEM-grade thermal monitoring component engineered to deliver fast and reliable temperature feedback across engine fluids, hydraulic circuits, or exhaust aftertreatment systems. Featuring a straight probe geometry with an insertion length of 50 mm, it houses a high-precision thermistor enclosed in a heavy-duty stainless steel sheath resistant to aggressive media, high thermal gradients, and intense engine vibrations. The sensor continuously feeds real-time thermal telemetry to onboard control modules (ECU/DCU) for optimal engine performance and emissions management. It offers direct plug-and-play fitment on Case IH Maxxum, New Holland T6 (including Stage V models), and Steyr Profi / Profi CVT tractors.
Key Features & Engineering Advantages
- Factory-Calibrated Precision (CNH OEM Standards): Tight thermal resistance tolerances ensure stable temperature data delivery to onboard ECUs, preventing false diagnostic fault codes and erratic engine management.
- 50 mm Straight Probe Profile: 50 mm immersion stem extends directly into the core fluid or exhaust stream, providing rapid thermal responsiveness without heat-soak lag.
- Corrosion & Heat-Resistant Stainless Steel Body: High-grade stainless alloy construction resists high thermal spikes, chemical exposure from urea/diesel fluids, and mechanical stress.
- Sealed Automotive Connector: Protected to IP67/IP69K standards against ingress of road dirt, field debris, washdown water, and chemical vapors.
- Direct Drop-In OEM Fit: Standardized replacement for part numbers SKT-1016, I47478995, and 47478995 across Case IH, New Holland, and Steyr fleets.

Installation Advice & Workshop Notes: Allow the system to cool down completely before removing the old temperature probe to avoid risk of burns, and disconnect the battery prior to working on the electrical harness. Thoroughly clean the mounting port threads from soot, carbon, or scale buildup before threading in the new sensor. Apply torque exclusively to the metallic hex drive using a calibrated torque wrench to the manufacturer's specified setting; never twist the plastic connector housing or lead wires. Ensure the sealing washer/seal is properly seated. Reconnect the electrical socket, start the machine to verify proper sensor readouts, and clear any historical fault codes using a CNH electronic diagnostic tool.
