In order to replace the engine Coolant Temperature Sensor, first, partially drain were taken to a level below the ect sensor. When removing the ect sensor, disconnect the engine wiring harness electrical connector and remove the ect sensor electrical connector from the camshaft cover, being careful not to damage the coolant sensor to prevent it from impacting the fuel control system. Carefully pry the ect sensor off from the Cylinder Head using the j 45861 (ECT Sensor Socket). When installing the original or a new sensor without sealant, use thread sealer gm p/n 12346004 (Canadian P/N 10953480) or equivalent and then hand thread the ect sensor into the Cylinder Head. Tighten the ect sensor using the j 45861 (ECT Sensor Socket) of 14n m (10 lb ft). Next, install ect sensor electrical connector to the camshaft cover and ect sensor reconnect engine wiring harness electrical connector. Finally, refill the cooling system.
