2008 Cadillac CTS Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor on 2008 Cadillac CTS?

  A: Engine coolant temperature sensor replacement requires starting with a completely cooled engine because warmer temperatures can lead to high coolant loss and possible injury. Begin by switching off the ignition then remove the engine oil dipstick indicator. You need to pull the electrical connector heat protector off the electrical connector before you can disconnect the coolant temperature sensor electrical connector. Remove the coolant temperature sensor. Start by installing the coolant temperature sensor before tightening it to 22 N.m (16 lb ft). After attaching the coolant temperature sensor electrical connector replace the electrical connector heat protector on top of the electrical connector. To conclude this task inspect the cooling system before performing the necessary filling procedures which follow cooling system draining protocol (GE 47716).
