That doesn't make sense so perhaps the sensor is faulty or perhaps the sensor connector is loose? I'd like to take a look at the coolant temperature sensor but for the life of me I cannot find it. I have scoured hmaservice.com, hyunda-forums.com but all the various pics are still not clear enough for me to actually find the sensor. I have seen all the online pics from Hyundai but I can't get my head around exactly where the sensor is - the pics are either too zoomed in or so many things have been disconnected for the purposes of taking the picture I can't get my bearings. I would really appreciate it if someone could take a super-obvious "for dummies" type pic so can know where to look. What do I have to remove or move? How do I disconnect the temp sensor? Does it just unplug? Does the sensor part unscrew from a cable? Please, any help is greatly appreciated. I'd love to replace this on my own if I could without spending a fortune at the dealer. Thank-you! Acy This post has been edited by santafesuv: Nov 17 2009, 07:46 AM

Not every manual is equal in quality...some are rather sparse on detail. In this case, I found a good picture of the coolant temperature sensor for the 2001 Santa Fe V-6....by checking under 2001 Sonata V-6, tab ETM, Component location index, Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor.

Here is a picture of my engine. Can you point to where I should be looking? What do I have to remove to find the connector? 1.jpg ( 657.35K ) Number of downloads: 12 My open hood. 2.jpg ( 521.95K ) Number of downloads: 13 Put my camera in to look for a connector. Is it one of these? Thanks again. This post has been edited by santafesuv: Nov 19 2009, 05:04 AM
