Where is the coolant temp sensor located on a 2002 ford escape with V6 engine?

The coolant temperature sensor (CTS) on a 2002 Ford Escape V6 is typically located on the engine block, near the thermostat housing. However, there might be *two* coolant temperature sensors: one for the gauge and another for the engine control module (ECM).

To be certain, you'll need to:

* Consult a repair manual specific to your 2002 Ford Escape V6: This is the most reliable method. The manual will have diagrams showing the exact location of each sensor.

* Use a reliable online parts diagram: Many auto parts websites (like AutoZone, Advance Auto Parts, etc.) allow you to select your vehicle's year, make, and model and view diagrams showing the sensor locations.

Without a visual aid, pinpointing the exact location is difficult, as slight variations can exist depending on specific engine configurations within the same model year. Always double-check using the methods above before attempting any work on your vehicle.
