Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Sensor
Removal and Installation
Removal
1) Disconnect negative cable at battery.
2) Drain coolant referring to "Cooling System Draining
in Section 1F".
WARNING
!
To avoid danger of being burned, do not
remove radiator cap while engine and
radiator are still hot.
Scalding fluid and steam can be blown out
under pressure if cap is taken off too soon.
3) Remove air intake pipe.
4) Disconnect connector from ECT sensor (1).
5) Remove ECT sensor from water outlet.
Installation
Reverse removal procedure noting the following.
• Clean mating surfaces of ECT sensor and water
outlet.
• Check O-ring for damage and replace, if necessary.
• Tighten ECT sensor (1) to specified torque.
Tightening torque
ECT sensor (a): 15 N·m (1.5 kgf-m, 11.0 lb-ft)
• Connect connector to ECT sensor securely.
• Refill coolant referring to "Cooling System Flush and
Refill in Section 1F".

Inspection
S6RW0D1306008
Immerse temperature sensing part of ECT sensor (1) in
water (or ice) and measure resistance between sensor
terminals while heating water gradually.
If measured resistance doesn't show such characteristic
as shown, replace ECT sensor.
