It probably has the same thing on it somewhere. You might want to swap it out and see if it helps. It was only 17 bucks at advance auto parts. just looking at the old one and tearing it apart, I would say that its possible for these to get off on the resistance for the correct temp and really screw with the running of the thing. It probably would not even give a code as long as the resistance was between 300 and 15000 ohms the ecm would accept it as valid even if it was wrong. The only thing a code is given for is open or shorted.
