Oh, dude, replacing the coolant temperature sensor on a 2002 Isuzu Rodeo is like a walk in the park... if the park was full of rusty bolts and confusing diagrams. First, locate the sensor near the thermostat housing, then disconnect the electrical connector and unscrew the old sensor. Finally, just pop in the new one, tighten it up, reconnect the connector, and voila! Your Rodeo will be running cooler than a cucumber in a snowstorm.
how do you replace coolant temp sensor on a rodeo
The coolant temperature sensor is located under the hood of the car. The sensor is located to the left of the brake booster at the rear of the engine.Ê
it is low coolant temperature, could be the thermostat could be the sensor for coolant temperature.
To install the engine coolant sensor on a 2003 Isuzu Ascender, first, ensure the engine is cool and disconnect the negative battery terminal. Locate the coolant temperature sensor, typically found near the thermostat housing on the engine block. Remove the electrical connector from the sensor, unscrew the old sensor using a socket wrench, and then install the new sensor by threading it in and tightening it securely. Finally, reconnect the electrical connector and the battery terminal before starting the engine to check for proper operation.
If it's anything like the '05 V-6, it's located towards the front of the (driver's side) engine block. A diagram from Autozone repair guide can be found here: http://www.autozone.com/autozone/repairinfo/repairguide/repairGuideContent.jsp?pageId=0996b43f80382f1e. Gonna replace mine, along with thermostat this week. BTW, is your check engine light on, and giving you a code saying that either the coolant is low, or thermostat/coolant temperature coolant sensor is bad? Best of luck.

you should find it on the intake manifold just behind where the upper radiator hose attaches to thermostat housing.
under the hood
Right next to the oil filter
To replace the thermostat on a 2000 Isuzu Trooper, first ensure the engine is cool, then drain the coolant from the radiator. Next, remove the upper radiator hose and unbolt the thermostat housing to access the thermostat. Replace the old thermostat with a new one, ensuring the gasket is also replaced, then reassemble the housing, reconnect the hose, and refill the cooling system with coolant. Finally, check for leaks and start the engine to ensure it reaches operating temperature.
Drain about 1 gallon of coolant from the radiator Remove thermostat housing Clean both surfaces Replace gasket Re-install housing Re-fill coolant slowly to prevent an airlock Start engine and look for leaks Run engine to normal operating temperature with heater on Re-check coolant level
On a 2006 Isuzu Ascender, the coolant temperature sensor is typically located near the engine block, often on the cylinder head. It is usually positioned near the thermostat housing or close to the intake manifold. To access it, you may need to remove some components for better visibility and reach. Always refer to a service manual for specific details and diagrams for your vehicle.
