  • Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your G70, please post in the G70 section - and so on... This message can be closed by clicking the X in the top right corner.

Can't see how the temperature sensor connector releases to change the sensor...any advice would be very much appreciated...

Might be the same as the O2 sensor. A very small flathead screwdriver to push into a slot which will unlock the connector. I haven't had to touch my temp sensor so I'm not sure if it's the same as the O2 sensors.

Thanks for the response and tip...
It is tucked inconveniently between the engine and firewall...a bit tough to see how it releases, but finally got it off and changed the sensor...only to have the engine light come back on not even 5 minutes later.
The reason I started this process is due to my GC not passing the MD emissions test due to the P0128 code...which is either caused by a faulty sensor or thermostat (which I just bought and will change out this weekend).
I'm really struggling to grasp the correlation between meeting the emissions parameters and the P0128 code for Coolant Thermostat (Coolant Temperature Below Thermostat Regulating Temperature)...
Thanks again for the time and info...

If the engine temperature isn't right, neither will the emissions be. In particular, if the engine temperature is too low, the PCM can't go into normal full closed loop control for the best emissions control.
 
Thank you for the explanation...
Hoping to get this fixed this weekend...
