Simply get it plugged into an ECU reader as it is probably a fault that the ECU is rembering, if not get a manual for your motor and look for an additional sensor.

Even a new coolant temperature sensor may be damaged by over temperature. Thermistors also drift off calibration with age. Check for corrosion on the connector.
Where is the coolant temp sensor on a 2003 Chevy s10 V6 and how is it replaced?
The coolant temp sensor on a 2003 Chevy S10 V6 is located on the front of the intake manifold. To replace simply unscrew the old sensor and screw on the new one.

If It is the temp. sensor and not the thermosat I believe it is the bottom of the coolant tank. I thimk you have to buy a new tank.
How do you replace the coolant temp sensor in a 1988 Chevy Suburban?
It's right on top of the engine, next to the thermostat housing. Just disconnect the wire, turn out the sensor and replace it with a new one. If you need to add coolant, add the coolant after you change the sensor. Also, you should be ready with the new sensor as soon as you take the old one out, coolant will most certainly start to flow from the opening.
How do you replace a coolant temp sensor on 2006 impala?
Disconnect electric connector from sensor. Remove sensor and catch & properly dispose of coolant that leaks out. Install new sensor and use open end wrench to make snug (DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN). Connect electric connector. Top off coolant. Clear DTC and ensure it does not come back (check engine light).
My Overflow is steaming and only one fan is working on my 96 eclipse RS model. i have tried everything i put in a new radiator and a new thermo stat but the over heating is still happening. HG is ok?
You have two fans, one turns on when the AC is running. The other fan turns on when the engine coolant temp has reached aprox 210 degrees. The coolant temp sensor/switch determines that. So, it could be either the coolant fan motor or the coolant fan temp sensor or the coolant fan relay or the coolant fuse/circuit breaker is bad. I am assuming the head and head gasket is okay.
How do you install a coolant temp sensor on 1996 Saturn SC2?
The coolant temp sensor is on the driver side of the engine. It is the upper sensor of the two you will see. First, you should drain a half gallon of coolant from the radiator using the valve at the bottom of the radiator. This avoids coolant draining out of the hole when you remove the sensor. Now carefully remove the connector on the sensor, then use a deep socket to unscrew it from the head. Match it up against it's replacement to be sure it is the same, there are mixups on these sometimes with the coolant switch which is below the coolant temp sensor and looks the same. Now put thread tape or loc-tite on the threads of the new sensor before replacing and tightening it. The threads may feel tight so be sure to turn the sensor into the head deeply enough to seal. Put coolant back into the overflow tank. Replace connector and test drive. Check for any leakage from the sensor and if there is no leakage and the sensor shows the temperature of the engine from the 1/4 to 1/2 mark on the guage when warmed up you should be fine.

Make sure you replaced the sensor with the two wire connector. Make sure the connector to the sensor is corrosion free. Replace it if it is

Where is the coolant temp sensor on 2000 Ford Powerstroke 7.3L?
It is located on the top of the water pump with an electrical plug on top of it. I just changed my water pump and the coolant temp sensor has to be removed from the old one and installed on the new water pump. On the 2000 model the fan pulley is on the water pump. Look behind the fan and belt, on the top of the water pump and you will see the plug on top of the sensor. JWM1031@aol.com
Why would the temp range rise and fall in a 1999 gmc pickup even though the water pump and thermostat are new?
You probably have trapped air in the system. When the air gets on the temp sensor it goes hi and then when the coolant hits the temp sensor it goes lower. With a COLD engine remove the radiator cap, and start the engine and let it idle and keep topping off the coolant level in the radiator. MAke sure you see coolant moving or flowing inside the radiator once the thermostat opens. which is usually between 160 and 200 degrees. Once you get the air out of the system, the coolant flowing across the temp sensor will be more consistent and thi should take care of your problem.
