Kia Sedona: Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor (ECTS) Repair procedures
1.
Turn the ignition switch OFF.
2.
Disconnect the ECTS connector.
3.
Remove the ECTS (Refer to "Removal").
4.
After immersing the thermistor of the sensor into engine coolant, measure resistance between the ECTS terminals 3 and 4.
5.
Check that the resistance is within the specification.

Disconnect the engine coolant temperature sensor connector (A).
4.
Remove the spring clip (B), and then pull the sensor from the water temperature control assembly.
•
Note that engine coolant may flow out from the water temperature control assembly when removing the sensor.
•
Note that internal damage may occur when the component is dropped. If the component has been dropped, inspect before installing.
•
Apply the engine coolant to the O-ring.
•
Insert the sensor in the installation hole and be careful not to damage sensor when installing.
1.
Install in the reverse order of removal.
2.
Supplement the engine coolant.
