Good To Know
Q: Is the 40-974 sensor an exact swap for the 40-871? A: The 40-974 is specified as a replacement for the 40-871, but verify your unit model and serial number because Thermo King made changes across production years.
Q: Can I install this sensor without special tools? A: Yes, typical installation requires basic hand tools and disconnecting the old wiring connector, then connecting the new sensor and securing it in the original location.
Slight variation in finish or dimensions may occur between production runs, and fit can depend on serial number, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
