Where is the coolant temperature sensor located on the Wuling Zhiguang?
2 Answers
The location of the coolant temperature sensor on the Wuling Zhiguang primarily depends on the vehicle model, generally found on the engine intake manifold below the gear shift panel. Here are some highlights about the Wuling Zhiguang: 1. The Wuling automobile brand embodies the spirit of hard work and self-improvement, and has now become one of the most valuable brands in China's automotive industry; 2. Both the Wuling text and graphic trademarks have been awarded China's Well-known Trademarks; 3. With the brand positioning of 'Quality Drives Life,' Wuling Motors is committed to providing outstanding products and passionate, trustworthy services to car owners, becoming a reliable assistant and close friend to Wuling vehicle users.
The Wuling Zhiguang's coolant temperature sensor is usually installed at the front of the engine, near the cylinder head or close to the thermostat, directly inserted into the coolant pipe. With over ten years of car repair experience, I can tell you the common location is along the hose next to the radiator tank after opening the hood—you'll spot a small metal component connected to a wiring harness. Its function is to monitor water temperature and prevent engine overheating. If the sensor fails, the dashboard temperature gauge may show inaccurate readings or even stop displaying, potentially causing sudden engine overheating and damage. In my work, when encountering such issues, I always recommend car owners first check if the sensor wiring harness is loose or corroded. DIYers can initially test the resistance with a multimeter, but note that the exact position varies slightly by model year—for instance, older models place it on the side of the cylinder head, while newer ones might position it slightly to the left. For safety, avoid forcing removal; it's more hassle-free to have it replaced at a professional shop.
