The water temperature sensor on a 2002 Kia Sedona is located on top of the engine, near the upper radiator hose. It relays the temperature to the vehicle's computer and triggers the cooling fan to come on.
most are near the water outlet housing.
..... sense water temperature?
On my 2000 International with a Detroit series 60 engine the water temperature sensor is on the back of the engine, passenger side in the cylinder head. Gears
1. Water temperature sensor Intake air temperature sensor cylinder head temperature sensor exhaus temperature sensor and catalytic sensor
There are several temperature sensors on a 2001 Chevy Monte Carlo. A temperature sensor for outside temperature is located near the passenger side wheel underneath the vehicle. A manifold temperature sensor is located in the manifold. There is also an air temperature sensor in the hose that leads from the air filter to the motor. Still another temperature sensor is the thermostat in the upper radiator hose near the water pump.
The Water Temperature Sensor Assembly is located in the thermostat housing. It's explicit location is shown as Ref #15 in the diagram listed in the 'Sources and Related Links' section of this answer. (located below)
the sensor for the gauge should be by the thermostat housing,the sensor for the ecm should be on the right rear of engine above exhaust manifold screwed into head
The Temperature sensor for the computer is on top the head. The temperature sensor for the temperature gauge is located under the Thermostat housing.
Most engines have the temperature sensor either at the top water inlet or on the side of the block. Remove the sensor wiring, then unscrew the sensor to replace it.
Your oil temperature gauge will connect to the oil pressure sensor. The water temperature gauge will hook up to the water temperature sensor. The oil pressure sensor will be on the left-hand side of the engine and the water temperature sensor will be on the front of the engine.
An air temperature sensor in an automobile is very important. The temperature sensor detects the external temperature. The external temperature is important because of the manner in which the car's computer mixes air and water.
If you mean sensor, a sensor is a device that changes based on some phenomenon and this change is used to measure the change in the phenomenon.For example, assume a device produces a voltage and the amount of that voltage depends on the temperature of the device. It can be used as a sensor for temperature. Assume you put the device in water and another device measures the voltage produced by the sensor. Based on the voltage of the sensor it can display the temperature of the water. So, in this example, the sensor senses the temperature of the water.
