Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor Replacement LP4/L21

1. Drain the engine coolant into a suitable container.



2. Disconnect the electrical connector (3) releasing locking tab.
3. Disconnect the electrical connector from the ECT sensor.
4. Remove the coolant sensor (2).

Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.

1. Install the ECT sensor (2) to the engine.

Tighten
Tighten the coolant sensor to 20 N·m (15 lb ft).
