3. Use a pair of pliers and a slight twisting
motion, to pull the sensor out of the rubber
mounting grommet.
TeCH TiP: When replacing a failed
temperature sensor, cut the wire off near
the failed thermistor probe. Disconnect the
opposite end connector at the control board.
Cut off the old connector. Wire tie the new
temperature sensor cable along the existing
wire harness. Reconnect at the control
board. When reinserting the sensor into the
rubber grommet, wet it to make insertion
easier.
