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.
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
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
lol! On my 1997 Rodeo (v6, 3.2l) it is in the back -- the manifold must be removed to access it. lol! On my 1997 Rodeo (v6, 3.2l) it is in the back -- the manifold must be removed to access it.
The fuel level sensor can only be replaced by first removing the fuel tank. it then can be easily removed from the top.
To replace the speed sensor on an Isuzu Axiom, first, ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and the ignition is off. Locate the speed sensor, typically found on the transmission housing. Disconnect the electrical connector and remove the sensor by unscrewing it from its mounting. Install the new sensor by reversing the process, ensuring a secure fit and reconnecting the electrical connector before testing the vehicle.
