Hello all, first off Im new to Lexus forums. so Im not sure if this is the correct spot to post this. i have an 2001 Lexus is300 and i need to do the coolant temp sensor but having difficulty locating this sensor. any help with areas, pictures, locations to look would be greatly appreciated. thanks. -Mike, k.

 

located on the bottom of the radiator, on the passenger (right side). Its a white plastic sensor that needs to be unplugged before you remove it, with an adjustable wrench, 2-5 minute job.

Make sure you do it when the car is cool, and be sure to have a pan underneath as coolant will leak out......

 

Thanks, yeah did the O2 sensors. the one by the firewall. very tricky. lol. next is this temp sensor been hounding me. i looked and looked.. thanks again. im going to do it tomorrow as it is like 30 degrees outside. and nearing dark.

 

does anyone happen to have the part number for the coolant temp sensor?
