it si located just below and to the right of the coil pack if your looking at it from the battery which is at the drivers side front. It is right next to another sensor. It screws into the block. Another locater is the thermostat housing it is to the left side of that.
The water pump on a 2000 Hyundai Sonata is driven by the timing belt.
The water pump on a 2001 Hyundai Sonata is close to the radiator. It is under the bypass hose, radiator hose, and accessory drive belts.
..... sense water temperature?
it is under the timing cover and it is quite hard
1. Water temperature sensor Intake air temperature sensor cylinder head temperature sensor exhaus temperature sensor and catalytic sensor
you have to remove the belts and water pump pulley the water pump is located behind the timing cover.
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.
Push and hold the Ambient (outside) Temperature button down while pressing the Temperature Down button. After several seconds the display will toggle. Tried it on my 2006 Sonata after finding this URL: http://en.allexperts.com/q/Hyundai-Repair-815/2001-XG300-Heater-Control.htm and it worked (after driving around for a month before I got weary of doing temp conversions in my head). The display was in Centigrade after a rebuilt engine was installed (don't drive through more than 4 inches of water in your Sonata, kids).
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.
I have a 2006 Hyundai tiburon. I have the same problem. Had the computer module changed but it continues to happen. The dealer says that water is getting in the motor and causing it to stop. That is not acceptable
