The engine coolant temperature sensor measures the temperature of the coolant and provides a signal to the PCM. When testing, disengage the wiring harness from this component and use an ohmmeter to measure its resistance. Enumerate readings obtained at both cold and hot states of the coolant on a graph. Replace it if they do not correlate with it. To remove or reinstall this part, first drain the coolant, then disconnect the battery and take off the sensor before reinstalling it again. Check for leakages after refilling it, add back water and start your car.

The coolant temperature indicator system includes a dashboard gauge and a sending unit on the engine. The unit's location varies depending on the engine model. Some vehicles have multiple units, but only one is used for the indicator system. On 2005 and later Expedition/Navigator 5.4L engines, a cylinder head temperature sensor is used. If overheating is indicated, check the coolant level, wiring, and fuses. To test the sender, disconnect the connector and attach a jumper wire. If the gauge doesn't swing to full hot, there may be a circuit issue. If the gauge works during testing but not when hot, replace the unit. Prepare the new unit with Teflon tape or sealer. For 2005 and later models, the intake manifold must be removed to access the CHT. Disconnect the connector and unscrew the sensor to replace it. Install quickly to minimize coolant loss and check the coolant level after installation.

First of all, a light or gauge on the dash, and a sending unit on the engine are used in the coolant temperature indicator system. In case of overheating, check the coolant level, wiring, and fuses. Grounding wire to the sending unit helps to test the circuit. In case of any need, replace the sending unit. Also, check the coolant type and mixture. The electrical connector should be disconnected to enable you to remove the sensor from the engine so that you can replace it with a new one.

The engine coolant temperature sensor monitors temperature changes and changes its resistance values. To test it, measure resistance values when cold and at operating temperature and check the signal voltage from the PCM.

Unscrew the old sending unit and install the new one as quickly as possible to minimize coolant loss. Tighten the sending unit securely and attach the wire.

The possible reasons for the indicator light not going out after the engine starts include a grounded wire between the light and the sending unit, a defective sending unit, or a faulty ignition switch.

The coolant temperature sending unit is responsible for sending temperature information to the temperature gauge in the dash. It helps indicate the engine's coolant temperature to the driver.

Remove the coolant temperature sender from the engine block. Attach an ohmmeter, with one lead on the sender's metal body and the other on the wiring harness connector terminal. Submerge the sender in cold water, then slowly heat the water to 188-210°F (88-99°C), observing a steady and even decrease in resistance. Replace the sender if it does not function as described.

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.

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

With the engine off, disconnect the wire from the temperature sending unit. Switch on the ignition without starting the engine - the gauge pointer should be at the Cold mark. Using a jumper wire, ground the sending unit wire. The needle on the gauge should now be pointing to (or past) the Hot mark. Don't leave the jumper wire connected any longer than necessary.

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

The EEC relay and associated circuits provide battery power (VPWR) to fuel injection and electric fuel pump-related components requiring 10.5 volts or greater.

On V6 engines, the sending unit for the gauge is located on the front lower part of the intake manifold, near the thermostat housing.

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