Where is coolant temperature sensor on 2001 dodge caravan?

The coolant temperature sensor (CTS) on a 2001 Dodge Caravan is typically located on the cylinder head, near the thermostat housing. However, there are two common locations, and *which one you have depends on the engine*. There's no single definitive answer without knowing the engine size (e.g., 2.4L, 3.0L, 3.3L, 3.8L).

To find it, you'll need to:

1. Identify your engine size: Check your vehicle's paperwork (owner's manual, registration) or look for an engine code on an engine bay sticker.

2. Consult a repair manual specific to your engine: A Chilton's or Haynes repair manual for your year and model Caravan will show you exactly where the CTS is located for your particular engine. These manuals often have diagrams.

3. Look near the thermostat housing: Even without a manual, the general area is usually near the thermostat housing on the cylinder head. It's often a single-wire or two-wire sensor with a connector. Be cautious when looking as it will be hot if the engine is recently run.

Important Note: Improperly handling the sensor or coolant system can lead to serious injury. If you're not comfortable working on your car yourself, take it to a qualified mechanic.
