Where is the temperature sensor on a 2002 dodge caravan 3.3L engine?

The temperature sensor for the engine coolant on a 2002 Dodge Caravan 3.3L engine is typically located on the cylinder head, near the thermostat housing. However, there might be *two* temperature sensors: one for the gauge on the dashboard, and another for the Engine Control Module (ECM).

To locate it precisely:

1. Consult a repair manual: A Chilton's or Haynes repair manual specific to your 2002 Dodge Caravan 3.3L will have diagrams showing the exact location of all sensors. This is the most reliable method.

2. Look near the thermostat housing: The thermostat housing is usually on the top of the engine, near the front. The temperature sensor will likely be a single-wire or two-wire sensor screwed into the cylinder head near this area. It may be a smaller sensor compared to other components in that area.

3. Online diagrams: Search online for "2002 Dodge Caravan 3.3L engine diagram" or "2002 Dodge Caravan 3.3L coolant temperature sensor location." You might find images that help you pinpoint it. However, always double-check against a repair manual.

Caution: The engine will be hot if it has recently been running. Allow it to cool completely before attempting to locate the sensor.
