Thanks for explaining this simply. The phrase "if your not sure" is perfect. Because that's why we are all here. Thanks for breaking things down simply. I've never used a multi-year, but after this video, I may go out and order one!
Just writing to say thanks. You helped me get my temperature gauge working again. This was on my 1990 Volvo 760 GLE with the B280F Peugeot V6. (I have been told that this engine was used in the Delorean). Following your diagnostic steps, on my sensor connector, one pin read 12V and the other 0. Then I switching to OHMS, the other pin read open circuit. So I reasoned that there must be an open in a ground connection somewhere. But instead of trying to fine it , I just ran a new wire from it to ground, measured the voltage again and it dropped from 12V to 5v . I started the car and the gauge now works.
Thank you very much! You shared a piece of gold information quickly in your video. You suggested doing a google image search for the location of something on your engine. I was sifting through videos trying to find temperature sensor on 97 outback. Less than 5 minutes after watching part of your video and I'd found it on google images and located it on my motor. Thanks again!
CarsNToys hey bro i have is 300 2003 and the tempreature gauge is not working which sensor should i change ?? if the gauge is working fine please help you can contact me through email at uselessboy28@hotmail.com or you can just say it here if you know
Thank you for the accurate information. I own the Infiniti shop manual and your information is much more informative. I think the manual is intended to meet minimum requirements so that people have to go to the dealer--just my impression and not based on facts but on logical deduction.
99max owner i watch all you vidos very insightful on how to test units and also installs thanks so much for your time and knowlege hlp me alot prepare for jobs wat size tools and run downs
I have a 2004 VW Beetle. A couple of days ago it starting acting strange. The engine wouldn't run right and the air conditioning wouldn't work. I suspected it was the coolant temperature sensor. This morning while the engine was cool I tested the resistance across the 2 ECM pins which should have read at the most 2.5 kilohms. It read 416 kilohms. I replace the sensor and now it runs like it's supposed to. I am so thankful.
Great information, well done, and quickly delivered! A+ man, no boring intro shit to skip forward, no crazy music like other channels where i cant hear what they are saying. Well explained, please say you are a teacher or something cause its well executed. Thanks a bunch btw this helped me diagnose my issues with truck.
Very good information here! I'm getting a P0125 on a 2001 Toyota Tacoma PreRunner and getting ready to drop $15-$30 on one of these that is likely bad, might not even be broken. Thx!
HI..french cannadian here and yesssss..your video is very helpfull...very clear information..i'm going to test it on my wife Tercel 1999 code 0125...thank you very much...Merci beaucoup..;)
Thank you so much for this video. Will have to do this on my 307cc 2006 2litre the next days. I'm not a car expert, but I can do this with your guide. Thanks!
Cool, thanks for the info! I've replaced the thermostat and water pump on my 1995 Nissan pickup, and still getting anomalous water temperature readings.
Hello CarsNToys I want to say great video and I was able to locate my temperature sensor on my 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee 3.7 for I am getting a ‘gauge not working’ on my gauge-digital dash and temperature gauge does not move. I had replaced the temp sensor and I still get the ‘gauge not working’ error and my temp gauge does not move ( I let the vehicle idle for 15 minutes). I did the following test with my voltmeter: 1. Voltage to temperature connector as indicated in your video and I get 4.9 volts. 2. Tested the OHMS continuity on connector and it passes by giving audible sound. 3. I ran the Kilo-OHMS test on the old and new temp sensor and I get 5.0 on old sensor and 4.5 on the new temperature sensor. 4. I brought a new temp connector, which I had not replaced yet because the voltage test to the original connector works showing 4.9 volts. 5. My electric fan turns on when the engine is idling and when the a/c comes on. Any ideas on how to test this ‘‘gauge not working’ on 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee? Thanks,
thank you for the video. my voltage and continuity tested good. old and new sensor tested good, still getting the p0115 code. what else could be wrong? can't figure it out could it be the pump? my car is not overheating though. thanks for any input
Very Good info. even after 4 1/2 years. I changed my sensor and the temp guage moved a little, so I know something wrong. It is a new sensor But now I will do the tests that you suggested. Appreciate that.
very good instruction...I'm getting 00.0 across the board. it doesn't matter which way I put the probes. There is probably more wrong with this vehicle than just a sensor, but training and learning never hurt anybody.
Thank you sir, Excellent information and well presented.Very clear instruction Well done. I have big hopes that replacing my ECT(Which failed the ohms test) will cure my problems. If not then its a new MAF!
Thanks I'm gonna test mine on engine with these parameters. I think it's ok tho because with scanner hooked up temp reads at what is normal operating temp for my 96 Dakota, but the dash gauge never moves summer or winter. Do u know if gauges can fail or if that would usually be a wiring to the dash gauge issue? Thanks either way I can rule out the sensor for sure.
My car is throwing P0118, P2184, and P2185..I ran all the tests mentioned in your video and everything checked out, but these codes will just not go away. Any idea what else could be causing this? Great video by the way; easy to follow.
I checked sensor and continuity using your method and I have continuity and resistance on sensor but my gauge on dashboard shows max temp as soon as I put my car in ON position and the engine is cold as night. What could be the problem? Thermostat?
Thanks for the great informative video. I am replacing Temperature Sensor in Corolla 2009 just for preventative maintenance. The new sensor is coming with coper gasket. Could you advise if any sealant (like Permatex anti seize) should be applied to the Sensor's thread. I will appreciate your advice.
Çok teşekkür ederiz video için. Aynı konuda yayınlanan diğer videolara göre daha açıklayıcı ve bilgilendirici. Sadece farklı araçlarda motor sıcaklık sensörünün sökülmesi, motor soğutma sıvısının eksilmesine neden olabilir. Bu nedenle sensör yeniden takılınca sıvı seviyesi kontrol edilmelidir.
6 YEAR'S later and your video is still helping people out good video bro
YUP!
Carsntoys you are the best. Thank you for your time.You blessed me.Blessings to you.

Thank you for explaining this simple circuit design so simply.
Thank you for this vid. I just changed my temp sensor using this vid. Everything from the multi meter was spot on

Great video. I learned and I'm going to test it myself.
I actually got the code P0125
excelent video.thanks🇮🇹🇮🇹
Verry helpful, thank you.
Glad to help
im So thankful you made this video.
Glad to help! Thank you.
Thank you very much bro
You can use a hairdryer to heat it up too, saves the mess on with the water and pan. Great video thanks.
thank you
thank you so much. i love it
Thanks a lot my friend , now I can find out the problem in my car...
Welcome
Really good video, keep up the good work.
Thanks. Appreciate it.

Since you got an ohm reading on the switch when it was cold does that mean it's a normally closed switch?
Great Tutorial, explained everything clearly in regard to fault finding a temp sensor ,Thank You.
Thank you. I appreciate the feedback.
great man !!! thanks
Thanks for the video it helped a lot.
Awesome. Glad to help.
I checked sensor and continuity using your method and I have continuity and resistance on sensor but my gauge on dashboard shows max temp as soon as I put my car in ON position and the engine is cold as night. What could be the problem? Thermostat?
What's the role of the harness continuity wire ?!
It didn't react to the sonor test on the multimeter nor does respond to the lamp test !
Please help.
Thank you Well done

im workin on toyotaRAV4 2002 it starts ok then later the idling changes its like 1 n 4 a not firing, the injectors and coils r ok wat cud b the prob
having watch the video lecture, what could be cause of overheating and remedy in my Toyota sienna 2001 model, xle
explain very clearly...thank u
Glad to help.
