Coolant temperature sensor location needed please?

Hello, I'm Danny.

The coolant temperature sensor is located underneath the intake manifold in the lifter valley area. You will have to remove all the upper engine accessories and the intake manifold to gain access to the sensor. Being that your truck is a 2019 does the factory Ford warranty still apply? I would have them cover it first due to the fact that if you have to do this repair yourself out of pocket it will cost thousands of dollars. We can provide you with the repair guides if you choose to do this however I would check your warranty information first being this is a relatively new truck. I've attached a picture below of the coolant temperature sensor location. Let us know how you are going to proceed and we'll go from there. Hope this helps and thanks for using 2CarPros. Check out the images (below). Let us know how it goes

Unfortunately the dealership thinks rats did it. i went yesterday but my father in law knows cars a lot he just needs a correct diagram of the engine and where it is and we might be able to do it.

i'm going to do it myself could you send me a diagram of the wire sensors?

Hi,

I attached two pics below which include the coolant temp sensor. I highlighted the sensor in pic 2.

Let me know if this helps.

Hello again.

Here is the information you requested. We have had a bunch of people request wiring diagrams here due to rats chewing up the wiring so you are not the first. That is a bummer especially being a new truck. Here is a tutorial showing how to test electrical wiring:

I've attached the wiring diagrams below for the cooling system including the coolant temperature sensor. I've cut the diagrams into 3 pieces so you can view larger. I've circled the sensor in red. Let us know if you have any further questions on this issue or need any further diagrams-help. Hope this helps and thanks again for using 2CarPros.

I have pulled the code, P1289 and got the replacement part but need to figure out where it is located.

Removal

NOTE: Removal steps in this procedure may contain installation details.

Remove the RH fender splash shield.
Refer to: Fender Splash Shield (501-02 Front End Body Panels, Removal and Installation) .

NOTE: Do not reuse the CHT sensor, install a new sensor.

Disconnect the CHT sensor electrical connector.
Remove and discard the CHT sensor.
Torque : 97 lb.in (11 Nm)

Can you post a link to the fender splash guard removal? I have searched the site and cannot find it. Thanks

Here you go. Good luck with the repair.

check engine light is on telling me to replace the engine coolant sensor

Hello,

The Cylinder Head Temperature (CHT) sensor is located a left center of the rear of the engine. I have included a set of engine sensors in the diagrams down below for you vehicle. If you have any other vehicle related questions, please, feel free to ask. It's what we do and why we are here.

Thanks,

Do the clips in the first diagram unscrew or do they pop out? Also are they reusable or do I need replacements?

All the plastic clips pop out.

Problem solved. The part was easy to swap out. Took about 30 minutes from start to finish. I think I wasted more time looking for my ratchet. Thanks for the help.

I am trying to find coolant temperature sensor location on my truck. Please help me out with this.

Hello,

I have included the information that you have requested in the form of two diagrams in the diagrams down below. Please go through these guides and get back to us with how everything turns out. I hope that this helps.

Where is the coolant temp sensor Located? Sorry the engine is a 5.0L.

Hello, I'm Danny.

Here is the information you requested. The coolant-cylinder temperature sensor is located on the right rear of the engine. Here are a few coolant temperature sensor tutorials for you to view:

Thank you. I will get after it.

You're welcome!
Keep us updated. Thanks again for using 2CarPros.

A rodent got into my engine bay and ate some of my insulation but also appears to have eaten through the wiring to the engine temperature sensor. I cannot find where it is located on my engine to check the wiring.

The sensor is back at the engine/bell housing split. Mounted to the passenger side cylinder head on the inner rear of the head. Item C107 in the picture.

Thank you so much Steve. I will go check if the little friend ate the wires there.

I would check every wire on there. Those little Ba$%#@@$% love to chew.
Of course the automakers do not help when they use bio-plastic wire insulation. Nothing like coating the wiring with animal feed.

Where is the engine coolant sensor located?

Ford doesn't use a conventional style coolant temperature sensor, they use a cylinder head temperature sender. It is on the rear of the engine on the right side above the bell-housing flange on the 5.0 engine. What is the issue you are having?

Looking for location of coolant temperature sensor..

This is a pretty common question for these engines. You have what is called a cylinder head temperature sensor. Exact same thing as an engine coolant temperature sensor, it is just in the cylinder head. Now the unfortunate part, it is under the intake manifold. If you take a look at the picture you will see the intake ports are exposed in order to access it.

Let me know if you need more info. Thanks

Very much appreciated. Unfortunately, this takes it right out of my comfort zone for executing at home. At least I have a general grasp of the labor involved, which helps when communicating with mechanics. Thanks again.

Haha. I totally understand. I do a lot of my own stuff as well and I think my best ability is to know when not to do something and that is normally pluming. I am scared of floods behind my walls and not knowing it until it is too late.

Let us know if you need more info or what it turns out to be. Thanks

I have a code of P1299 for a malfunctioning coolant temperature sensor/cylinder head temperature sensor. I cannot find the location of this part on the engine. Any assistance is appreciated.

Here is a diagram:

Where is a coolant temperature sensor located on a Ford F-150?

My info shows this for the 5.4L. cylinder head temp sensor, back side of cylinder head on the passenger's side. Check out the diagrams (Below). Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.

I located the cht sensor but can't find the temp sensor Ect thanks

Your engine doesnt have a traditional ECT(engine coolant temperature) sensor, instead it employs a cylinder head temperature(CHT) sensor.

that 's because it doesn't have one it uses a cht sensor instead.
