Today's engines monitor virtually every function to ensure your vehicle runs strongly and efficiently every day. One of the most important systems to monitor is the cooling system, which includes the radiator, water pump, radiator fan, coolant lines, and overflow tank. The, also known as the coolant temperature switch, is the engine management system that monitors the temperature of the coolant and relays this information to the ECM.

When the sensor is functioning properly, it will tell your on board computer if the temperature is too high, alerting the driver that a problem exists by illuminating a warning light on the dashboard. The coolant temperature sensor (switch) utilizes electrical resistance to measure the coolant's temperature. When the signal is sent to the, the computer adjusts the vehicles ignition timing, fuel flow, and other factors that trim or enhance performance based on the coolant temperature. Due to the fact that engine temperature plays a vital role in the overall performance of any vehicle, having a properly functioning coolant temperature sensor is essential.

If you discover that the sensor is failing, you'll have to replace this device by following the step-by-step instructions noted below. Part 1 of 3: Diagnosing a problem with the coolant temperature sensor The coolant system on today's cars, trucks, and SUV's is comprised of multiple components that work together to keep your engine running well. When a problem occurs with engine heating or overheating, it may be due to one or multiple broken parts.

Taking time to properly diagnose the precise cause of the overheating situation is very important to providing a solution and actually fixing what is broken. Before you make the decision to replace the coolant temperature sensor, make sure diagnose some of the warning signs of a faulty coolant temperature sensor. Noted below are a few of the warning signs that will alert you that the coolant temperature sensor is damaged and needs to be replaced. The engine is getting poor: when the coolant temperature sensor is not functioning correctly, it tends to relay false information to the engine control module. This in turn triggers the ECM to either add more fuel or reduce air mixture to create a “rich” situation, designed to cool the cylinders and reduce the potential of overheating.

The side effect of this reaction is that the fuel economy will drastically be cut. If you notice that your temperature warning light is on and the fuel mileage is really poor, it may be caused by the sensor. Black smoke from the exhaust: another side effect of a rich engine is that black smoke (or unburnt carbon from fuel) will be present from the vehicle's exhaust when you accelerate. When the fuel mixture is rich (meaning more fuel than air in the vapor inside the combustion chamber) the cylinder will not be able to burn all the fuel. The result will be more black smoke being expelled from the exhaust port of the cylinder head and out the tail pipe.

The engine is overheating: on the reverse side, sometimes the sensor will fail entirely and won't be able to monitor the engine's coolant temperature. If this occurs, the potential of becomes greater. If your engine is overheating occasionally, the problem may be with the coolant temperature sensor. Coolant is leaking under the motor: it's also common for the coolant temperature sensor to become loose and cause engine coolant to leak from under the motor. If you notice coolant in front of the motor, it may be coming from the engine coolant temperature sensor's location.

It produces the Rafale fighter jet as well as the complete line of Falcon. Dassault falcon 900.

Note: The process of removing the coolant temperature sensor is very consistent, regardless of the type of vehicle you own. However, since all vehicles are unique, it's important to verify specific instructions with your vehicle’s manufacturer’s service manual before proceeding. Part 2 of 3: Remove and replace the coolant temperature sensor The actual process of replacing the coolant temperature sensor is extremely simple. However, the difficult work comes in the preparation of the cooling system - both before and after.

Materials Needed. Coolant collection pan. Flat head screwdriver. Funnel. New coolant. Pliers. Replacement.

Safety equipment including safety glasses and gloves. Socket wrench set. Work light. Tip: This job should only be completed when the engine is cold and has not been running for a minimum of one hour. Since you'll be underneath the car and the potential of coolant hitting your face is high, it may be a good idea to wear a safety shield to protect your face.

Make sure you wear safety glasses and gloves to protect your hands from hot coolant if the engine is not cold. Step 1: Make sure vehicle is on a level working area. Since you need to jack the front end up and will be placing the front end on jack stands, make sure your vehicle in on a flat surface.

Do not jack up a vehicle on a driveway or incline. Step 2: Locate the coolant temperature sensor. The first item that needs to be completed after you compiled all of your tools and assets is to locate the coolant temperature sensor. In the image above, you can see that most coolant temperature sensors are located on the top, driver side of the engine. However, the location of this sensor may be different with your specific engine.

Make sure you consult with your manufacturer or purchase a service manual for the make and model of your vehicle for precise location and instructions. Step 3: Jack the front end for clearance.

Make sure you have enough clearance to crawl underneath your vehicle. This can be done by driving your front end onto ramps or jacking up the front end and placing the jack stands underneath for safety.

Step 4: Remove radiator cap and overflow cap. Once the vehicle has been raised and you've opened the hood, the next step is to remove the radiator cap and coolant reservoir cap. This removes the vacuum pressure inside the coolant system allowing you to drain the radiator fluid so you can replace the coolant temperature sensor. Insert Image 3: radiator plug being removed Step 5: Drain the radiator. Underneath your vehicle, typically on the driver side, the radiator will have two different drain plugs. One of them is a petcock, which is located on the left side of the radiator near the main drain plug (on most vehicles). There are two ways to drain a radiator: Either remove the petcock valve and let the radiator drain slowly or remove the radiator drain plug and expect a high volume of coolant to flow quickly.

Based on your specific coolant collection pan or method, make the decision on which way fits your situation best and drain the coolant from your radiator. Step 6: Replace drain plug. Once you're radiator has been drained, make sure to replace your drain plug or reinsert the petcock before proceeding. This will ensure you don't forget to complete this step before adding more coolant once the coolant temperature sensor has been replaced. Step 7: Remove electronic harness from the temperature sensor.

It's time to locate and remove the coolant temperature sensor. The first thing is remove the electronic harness that connects to the sensor. Typically this sensor is attached with a plastic clip. To remove the clip, take a flat head screwdriver and slowly pry the clip from the outside edge of the temperature sensor. Step 8: Remove the coolant temperature sensor.

Using a ¼' drive socket and extension and the correct sized socket (usually 19mm), loosen the sensor from the engine block and remove it entirely. Step 9: Clean the hole where the sensor is located. Make sure to clean the sensor's insert area before you reinstall the temperature sensor. In some cases, dirt, debris, and other particles will impact the function of the coolant temperature sensor, so you want to make sure you have a clean area before installing the new one. Step 10: Install the new sensor. Using your fingers, hand screw the coolant temperature sensor into its placement hole until the sensor is flush against the engine.

Remove the extension from the ratchet and hand-tighten the sensor manually with the socket and extension. Warning: The sensor needs to be installed very carefully and not tightened down too tight. This is why we recommend hand tightening the sensor with the socket and extension, but not the ratchet. Step 11: Reattach wiring harness to sensor. Once the sensor has been successfully tightened, reattach the wiring harness.

It should 'snap' into place. Step 12: Verify the radiator drain plug has been tightened.

Step 13: Add radiator coolant. Although you may have collected the radiator coolant when you drained it from the radiator, it is highly recommended that you add new coolant. This will ensure that the coolant temperature sensor will work correctly. Add new coolant, mixed with distilled water as recommended by your specific vehicle manufacturer. Warning: Many newer cars, trucks, and SUV's have coolant systems that require a priming step. This is unique and specific to each vehicle manufacturer, so it's VITAL that you contact your automotive manufacturer and receive the precise process for priming the coolant system. Failure to do this will often result in air bubbles being trapped in the coolant system and overheating problems.

Step 14: Add coolant to coolant reservoir. After your radiator is full, you need to add fresh coolant to your coolant overflow reservoir. It's likely that when you start your vehicle for the first time that you'll have to add coolant. Be proactive by adding some to the coolant reservoir to reduce the potential of air bubbles in the coolant lines. Step 15: Remove coolant buckets. Properly dispose of used coolant.

Step 16: Lower vehicle from jack stands. Place the vehicle back level to the ground. Part 3 of 3: Start the engine and test drive the vehicle Once the coolant temperature sensor has been replaced, you need to start the engine, check for leaks, and refill the radiator fluid in most cases before you test drive the vehicle.

The best way to complete any road test is to have a planned route that will bring your engine to proper operating temperature and open the thermostat of your radiator. Step 1: Start the vehicle. Let it warm up to operating temperature. Step 2: Check for leaks. Be sure to check for from the radiator drain plug, petcock, or the coolant temperature sensor. Step 3: Check to see if the check engine or low coolant level light is illuminated.

If it is, turn off the engine and check the coolant level inside the reservoir. If the light is on, the coolant reservoir should be empty. Fill with coolant and restart the engine to ensure the light comes off. Step 4: Test drive the vehicle. Make sure to drive the vehicle until you hear the radiator fan come on.

Once you do, return home while keeping an eye on the thermostat or engine temperature. Step 5: Check the coolant level. Once the vehicle has cooled for a minimum of one hour, check the coolant level inside the reservoir and fill if needed. After you've completed the installation and test drive, you should be good to go with a new coolant temperature sensor.
