The cost to fix a coolant sensor typically ranges from $100 to $300, depending on the make and model of the vehicle and labor rates in your area. The sensor itself is usually inexpensive, often costing between $20 and $50, but labor costs can add up if it's difficult to access. It's advisable to get a quote from a mechanic for a more accurate estimate. Overall, while not the cheapest repair, it is generally considered a manageable expense.
