How to replace the Coolant Temperature Sensor on 2001 Chevrolet Malibu?

Follow these steps to replace the Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Sensor: Turn OFF ignition then drain coolant below sensor level. Start by disconnecting the electrical connector of the sensor and take out the ECT sensor with due caution. Installation of the new ECT sensor requires using the precise component with the correct application part number. The ECT sensor must be installed after coating its threads with sealer GM P/N 9985253 or equivalent material using a 20 N.m (15 lb ft) torque specification. The electrical connector for the ECT goes to the sensor while technicians complete cooling system refill procedures. Take special caution when working with the coolant sensor because sensor damage will negatively affect fuel control functionality and using the correct torque settings is crucial to prevent component damage.
