There is a sensor located at the bottom of the coolant reservoir.

Had intake gasket replaced on 2001 Venture. NOW Cooling fans not coming on Checked and replaced fuses and relays all good still not working Also AC stopped working but worked fine before fan problem?
I own a 2000 with cooling fan probs check your coolant temp sensor,changed mine and cooling fans work perfect bhasche@yahoo.com
Is there a temporary fix if coolant mist is coming out of the AC vents on a 1998 Ford Ranger until you can get it to the shop?
I don't think it is coolant. It is just condensation caused from high humidity and the cold air. If it is coolant it should get on the floor and you should loose coolant.
96 ford mustang that is leaking coolant were the oil pan and front of the motor come together It already has new manifold no coolant in the oil Where is fluid coming from?
Check the water pump. Examine it for traces of dried coolant that might be leaking out of the casting.
Why would coolant be leaking from the exhaust pipe?
That's exactly what it is, water. The products of combustion are water and carbon dioxide. While the exhaust stays hot the water comes out as high temperature steam, usually you don't even notice it. When the exhaust pipe and/or outside temperature is cold enough the exhaust will cool and some of the water vapor will condense into steam and possibly even water that drips from a weep hole in the muffler. If you're seeing a little water drip from the muffler, everything is working as designed.
What could cause smoke coming from the Radiator Fan?
If the smoke is coming from the electric fan itself, then it needs replacing. It could be the smoke is steam that the fan is drawing from the radiator, and you have a coolant leak at the radiator.
What do you check if your cooling fans are not coming on?
is the coolant temperature sensor giving a correct reading to the computer? Is the fan getting power?
Why is coolant temp going to 219 on a 2006 Chevy Cobalt?
That is the temperature at which the cooling fans are coming on, this is common for newer cars. It is not a problem, and should not cause you concern.
Why does your coolant boil when run the engine and AC together?
Check to see if the electric cooling fans are coming on, and at the proper temperature. The air conditioning is adding heat to the engine, and your cooling system cannot remove the extra heat. This happens with some cars at idle, when the heat stays around the engine and the coolant is not circulating as quickly. Extra electric fans are installed to deal with this, but they have to be operating properly and you have to have the proper mix of antifreeze as well.
Why is hose collapsing and car running hot in a 2002 sebring coupe?
If this is on a 2.7 litre engine, probably the cooling system needs to be bled. Other causes could be the thermostat, but they are very relieable. Even though the cooling system reserviour shows full, the cooling system might just need to be bled properly. Has the engine had a cooling system failure. Blown hose or leaky radiator Most common for this failure on the 2.7l engine is low coolant level. The heater core supply lines and temperature sensor sit as high as the top of the engine and when the cooling system gets low on coolant, the first thing noticed in cooler weather when you turn on the heater is no heat coming from the heater. You may also notice the temperature gauge fluctuation(moving up and down), or below normal to normal temperatures. This is all caused from low coolant level. Fill coolant tank, then properly bleed the cooling system. You can bleed the cooling system by placing a clear plastic hose on the coolant bleeder valve at the top of the engine, just left of the intake manifold. Next to it is the engine coolant temperature sensor. Place the other end of the hose in a clear container, open the valve counterclockwise and monitor the coolant flow through the tube. When the bubbles stop and coolant is clear, your system is clear of all air and full of coolant. You may need to redo this two or more times after driving a while.
What should the cooling temperature be coming out of a vent?
It depends on the year, make and model plus the outside temperature but between 37 to 48 degrees...
Why is the coolant is coming out your car?
Because it's leaking somewhere. Other than lines in the cooling system, head and intake manifold gaskets are a possibility.
What causes ac on 02 Chrysler sebring to stop cooling then start again?
Low coolant level. The 2.7l v6 engine is bad about this problem, even though the coolant reserviour tank shows full. At low rpm, the coolant sensor shows low temperature and no heat coming from the heater. When you raise the rpm level, the temperature gauge will raise to operating temperature and heat comes from the heater. The coolant system has air in it and needs to be bled. To bleed the cooling system, find the coolant bleed valve located next to the coolant temperature sensor. They are in the plastic housing at the top of the engine just left of the intake manifold as you are standing in front of the car after raising the hood. Attach a clear plastic hose to the top of the coolant bleed valve. Place the other end in the coolant reserviour or some other container. Open the coolant bleed valve and monitor the air bubbles in the coolant through the plastic line until all bubbles passing through the line stop. You may be required to bleed the system several times as air is trapped in different places and moves to the top of the engine as you drive.
How do you know coolant is low on central ac unit?
One way to tell if you're low on coolant on a central AC unit is to feel the air coming out of the vents. If the air is warm or room temperature, it is a sign that you are low on coolant.
Where is the coolant temperature sensor on a vw passat 1998 1.8 20v?
it is on the back of theengine with four wires coming out the connector is blue
Why is your air conditioner only coming out of the defrost in the car?
It have battery
What does it mean if i take off my radiator cap run the engine and the coolant overflows out of the radiator?
If you have coolant mixed with air bubbles coming out, you may have a cracked head or a bad head gasket. Have a pressure test done on the cooling system to verify there is a problem.
Where is coolant temperature sensor located on 1989 Taurus?
The coolant temperature sensor on an 89 Taurus with a 3.8L V-6 is located directly above the thermostat, where the upper radiator hose connects to the engine. the sensor is positioned vertically and has 2 wires coming off of it.
