To find it, you'll need to:
1. Consult your vehicle's repair manual: This is the most reliable way to locate the sensor. The manual will have diagrams showing the exact location.
2. Look near the thermostat housing: This is the most common location. The sensor is usually a single-wire or two-wire sensor screwed into the engine block.
3. Visual inspection: Once you've located the thermostat housing, look closely at the surrounding area of the engine block. The sensor is relatively small and may have a single or double wire connector attached to it.
4. Use online resources: Search online for "2003 Chevy Suburban ECT sensor location [your engine size]" You might find pictures or videos showing the sensor's location for your specific engine.
Caution: Be careful when working near hot engine components. Allow the engine to cool completely before attempting any inspection or repair.
