1. Determining Your Emissions Specification
Open your hood
Locate your catalyst sticker
If the sticker says "This vehicle conforms to California regulations," you have a California emissions vehicle
If the sticker says "This vehicle conforms to US EPA regulations," you have a federal emissions vehicle
If the sticker lists both EPA and California regulations, you have a California emissions vehicle

Determining whether or not your vehicle is a California emissions or a federal emissions vehicle is pretty straightforward. To do this, you'll want to locate your catalyst sticker under the hood of your vehicle. It'll either be actually on the bottom side of the hood, most GM vehicles have it on the air box, and other vehicles may have it along your radiator support at the front of the engine bay.
All you need to do is see, "This vehicle conforms to California regulations." That means that this vehicle is a California emissions car. Just because you're not in California or are in California doesn't necessarily mean your vehicle will be one way or the other.
Now, our F150 has it down here on the radiator's support, right at the front of the engine bay and you can see here, "This vehicle conforms to US EPA regulations." This means that this vehicle is a federal emissions.
Now, here we have two things that are a little different. Our catalyst is located on the vehicle's air box and this vehicle conforms to US EPA regulations and California regulations. If it conforms to both federal and California emissions, it's considered a California emissions vehicle.
Thanks for watching. Visit us at 1AAuto.com for quality auto parts, fast and free shipping, and the best customer service in the industry.

This sensor works great! My 1996 Honda Accord would overheat when idling due to the fans not turning on. After replacing the l fan switch with this one, my fans now work and my overheating problem has been fixed.

Thanks for watching! If there is a sensor in the thermostat housing it would most likely be some sort of temperature sensor.

It controls the two auxiliary fans behind the radiator. I had an overheating problem when in traffic and this solved my problem.
