The part number is XS6E-8A586-AH. Cross-reference numbers include TER380, ATH1092, 160023610, 80053, and BBT149.
Symptoms include the engine overheating, the temperature gauge staying too low or not moving, or a Check Engine Light related to engine temperature. Fluctuations in temperature while driving can also indicate a failing thermostat.
The product description indicates it is a 'thermostat with housing,' implying the housing and thermostat are pre-assembled and ready for installation. It's advisable to check the product packaging or consult the seller to confirm if a separate gasket is included or required.
Ensure the thermostat is installed in the correct orientation, the cooling system has been properly bled of air, and there are no leaks in the housing or associated hoses.
Verify the electrical connection to the temperature sensor is secure. If the connection is good, the thermostat may be stuck open or faulty, requiring replacement.
Check that all mounting bolts are tightened to the manufacturer's specifications and that the mating surfaces were clean before installation. The gasket may also need to be replaced if damaged.
Consult the specific diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) indicated by the CEL. This could relate to sensor readings or thermostat performance, potentially requiring further inspection or component replacement.

The specific part number is XS6E-8A586-AH. Always verify this part number against your vehicle's original component or consult a professional if unsure.
Setup:
Installation of a thermostat and housing requires draining the engine's coolant. The old unit must be removed, and the mating surfaces cleaned thoroughly to ensure a proper seal. The new thermostat, complete with housing and sensor, should be installed according to the vehicle manufacturer's service manual. Ensure all bolts are torqued to specification and the coolant is refilled and bled correctly to remove any air pockets.
Care:
This is a sealed automotive component. Regular maintenance of the engine's cooling system, including periodic checks of coolant levels and condition, is essential for the longevity of the thermostat and other cooling system parts. There are no user-serviceable parts within the thermostat housing itself. Replacement is typically required if it fails to regulate temperature correctly.
