How to replace the Coolant Temperature Sensor on 2005 Chevrolet Malibu?

The first step for replacing the ECT sensor is to drain some coolant from the system. Break the ECT sensor electrical connector loose and then take out the sensor. Make sure the new ECT sensor you use matches the part number needed for your vehicle. Be sure to put sealer GM P/N 13246004 (Canadian P/N 10953480) or an equivalent on the threads before installing the sensor. Screw the ECT sensor in and tighten it until it reaches 20 N.m (15 lb ft). Once the sensor is installed, plug in the electrical connector to the ECT and make sure the cooling system is properly filled. Be sure to avoid damaging the coolant sensor, since this can affect the fuel control system's performance. Also, remember that components that need thread locking compounds, lubricants, corrosion inhibitors, or sealants must be installed using the instructions, because these can affect the final torque and the way the component functions.
