It is important to conduct extensive testing during the diagnosis of an Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor. The ECT sensor, like the IAT sensor, keeps track of coolant temperature and changes resistance as it fluctuates. Trouble codes can be set off by circuit faults in the ECT sensor; moreover, this may occur due to a defect in the sensor itself or in wiring and connections. On certain engines, there are two coolant temperature sensor units; one for the instrument panel temperature gauge and another for the Electronic Engine Control (EEC) system. By disconnecting the ECT sensor and using an ohmmeter, one can see different resistance values. Make sure the right resistance is there and check the reference voltage also. To replace this part of your car's engine, cool down the motor first; then put Teflon tape on the threads of the new part before unscrewing the electrical connector plug from the old ECT sensor, attach the new one quickly and firmly bolt into place again securing tightly. Finally, reconnect the electrical connector and check the coolant levels.

If an overheating indication occurs, the coolant level in the system should be checked. Additionally, the wiring between the light or gauge and the sending unit should be ensured secure, and all fuses should be intact.

On SOHC four-cylinder engines, the sending unit for the gauge or light is threaded into the driver's side of the engine block, at the rear, just below the cylinder head.

To minimize coolant loss during this procedure.

It may be possible to access the sender with the thermostat housing removed.

After replacing the ECT sensor, start the engine and allow it to reach normal operating temperature. Then, inspect for coolant leaks and check the coolant level in the expansion tank after the engine has warmed up and cooled down.

Camshaft Position (CMP) sensor replacement involves disconnecting the battery, detaching the electrical connector, removing the sensor, and aligning the new one correctly.

The air conditioning clutch control involves PCM control of the compressor clutch. If the air conditioning does not function, you should check relays and switches. To test, remove the relay and bridge the battery feed and compressor clutch terminals.

After installing the replacement sending unit, you should check the coolant level to ensure it is at the appropriate level.

The two engine coolant temperature senders are generally referred to as the sending unit and the sensor.

If the indicator light does not glow when the ignition switch is turned on, the circuit should be tested. This can be done by grounding the wire to the sending unit while the ignition is on. If the gauge deflects full scale or the light comes on, the sending unit should be replaced.

I am showing part number F5RZ-10884-B for the water temperature sender for this vin, but unfortunately it is discontinued.
