Replacement Guide
Typical location: mounted in the front bumper or behind the grille, often near the radiator or under the front fascia. Replacement generally requires removing the grille or access panel to reach the sensor. Steps:
- Park on level ground and switch ignition off. For safety, consult the vehicle manual—battery disconnect is optional but recommended on some models.
- Remove the front grille or inner splash shield to access the sensor.
- Unplug the electrical connector and release any retaining clip or screw.
- Remove the old sensor and install the new sensor in the correct orientation.
- Reconnect the connector, reassemble removed panels and verify operation by switching on ignition and checking dashboard temperature reading.
Common Faults And Service Life
The external temperature sensor can fail due to water ingress, corrosion, impact damage, or connector and wiring faults. Symptoms include incorrect or frozen temperature readings on the dashboard and erratic climate control behavior. Service life varies with exposure to road salt and mechanical damage; many sensors last several years but should be checked if erratic readings appear.
