Now this is speculation... I don't KNOW if this is true or not;
The temp guage sending unit is a variable rate Ohm sender. It has to move the needle over a (fairly) broad range.
The one for the TCS is basicly an off/on switch.
With that train of thought, I would say no, they are not the same unit.
A quick check at P/N's would tell you if it is the same piece or not.
