I just changed this sensor in my daughter's 2012 Terrain 2.4L. Yours is the only video that actually shows where the sensor is on the car! Thank you. I didn't even need to drain any coolant. Only a few ounces came out when I removed the old one. Thank you for making this! Rick
It might help some people to let them know there’s an insulating cover that completely encompasses the sensor and you need to pull it up to be able to see the sensor. In your video it is already pulled up, not sure if you might have mentioned that since I skipped through the video lol
May take a look at the connections and wires leading down as well. Make sure pins on the connector are not crushed or pushed in. Make sure if there is a rubber insulation that it’s not preventing contact to sensor.

Absolutely so glad to hear that it helped
Thanks for confirming how much coolant comes out. I'm doing this repairs in a couple days
Doing this replacement now. Thank you for your expertise. Very helpful.
Thanks! I didn't realize that the insulation was covering the sensor while I was searching and looking all around period thank you!
Yes if I were to do it again I would definitely have mentioned the insulator extremely thankful for the other person in comments pointing that out
thanks boss simple to follow and i got it done
No problemo glad it helped
Thank you. I have a P0119 and this will help. I might as well clean out the throttle body while I'm inside
No problemo glad the video helped
Yes cleaning that throttle body would probably do it some good
Will this make the heat blow hotter

Yes I had pulled it up already thanks for comment
thank you for this
Glad to hear it helped 👍
thank you
Your welcome glad it helped
Did removing the sensor require any tools? Or can you use your hands
Yes in the video i specified 19mm on this one use a deep socket
Is the 2014 equinox the same under the hood as the 2011
I believe so take a look under towards the back side of motor see if you see that sliver insulator that looks kinda like a foil cylinder is there
I wanna say it’s setup the same way
Can I drive with the high engine temp warning on?
I wouldn’t recommend it. Does the temp gauge read hot?
How do you know if the sensor is bad? Will it give you a code? Does it overheat?
I'm getting code P0118 for mine - going to try replacing after watching this video
@dinger31469 this one had codes for coolant temp sensor
So I replaced it but still have the same problem.

It would have been nice if you actually showed how you replaced it fully not just where it was.
if you cant figure it out u probablyshouldnt be working on it

No need to remove anything to be able to replace the sensor
You’d need to remove the sensor to replace the sensor
Did anyone else’s leak coolant?
They can leak I replaced this one to address check eng light
I’d say anything with pressure behind it has some potential to leak
