Lexus 89422-33030 Sensor, Water Temperature (For E.F.I.)

To replace the Coolant Temperature Sensor, start by ensuring the ignition key is in the OFF position. Then, remove the engine covers and drain approximately one gallon of coolant from the cooling system. Next, remove the air filter housing. Disconnect the electrical connector and unscrew the sensor. For four-cylinder models, the ECT sensor is located on the left end of the cylinder head, while for V6 models, it is located on the left end of the engine on the coolant crossover between the cylinder heads. Before installing the new sensor, wrap its threads with Teflon sealing tape to prevent leakage and thread corrosion. Finally, carefully handle the coolant sensor during installation, as damage to it can affect the operation of the entire fuel injection system.

Be careful with the ECT sensor in four-cylinder models as it affects the fuel injection system. It's on the left end of the cylinder head. Disconnect the negative battery cable, partially drain the cooling system, disconnect the sensor's electrical connector, and unscrew it. Apply Teflon tape to the threads and ensure secure tightening during installation. In V6 models, the ECT sensor is on the water outlet casting on 3.0L and 3.3L engines, and under the air filter housing on 3.5L engines. Disconnect the negative battery cable, partially drain the cooling system, and disconnect the sensor's electrical connector. Depending on the model, unscrew the sensor or remove the retaining clip and pull out the sensor. Ensure proper tightening or full seating before reinserting the clip. Refill the cooling system to finish.
