How To Test and Replace an Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor. Ep29

G’day guys and welcome back to another episode of Red Pill Garage. In today’s episode I'm going to teach you guys how to properly diagnose a bad engine coolant temperature sensor, also commonly known as ECT sensor or CTS coolant temperature sensor. Now you’re probably thinking what is a coolant temp sensor and how do I know if I have a bad coolant temperature sensor. Well, the purpose of the coolant temp sensor is basically to monitor the temperature of the engine and radiator coolant, and sends the signal back to the ECU or electronic control unit or commonly known as the main computer. Do you remember back in the day when things were made by hand and mechanics took pride in their work? Hi and welcome to my channel, Red Pill Garage.
