Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Sensor:






The Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor is located on the top RH front of the engine.

NOTE: In some applications of the 4.6L engine, the Cylinder Head Temperature (CHT) sensor provides the signal used by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) in place of the Coolant Temperature Sensor (CTS) for functions such as, but not limited to, activating the electric cooling fans.
