Installation Guide

1. Disconnect the Battery: For safety, remove the negative battery terminal before working on any electrical component.
2. Locate the Existing Sensor: The coolant temperature sensor is typically mounted near the engine block or cylinder head, connected to a coolant line.
3. Remove the Old Sensor: Use an appropriate socket or wrench to unscrew the mounting bolt. Carefully detach the wiring harness, noting its orientation.
4. Prepare the New Sensor: Apply a thin layer of anti-seize compound to the sensor’s threads if recommended by the manufacturer.
5. Install the V22-72-0064: Screw the new sensor into place, tightening it to the specified torque (usually 10–12 Nm). Reconnect the wiring harness, ensuring a secure connection.
6. Reconnect the Battery and Test: Restore the battery terminal. Start the engine and monitor the ECU or diagnostic tool for correct temperature readings. Verify that the sensor’s output matches expected values across the operating range.
