How to Service and Repair a Coolant Temperature Sensor on a 5.7L Engine on Dodge Ram 3500?

Thread sealant should be applied to the threads of the ETC sensor before starting to service and repair the Coolant Temperature Sensor/Switch for the computer on a 5.7L engine. Then, put the ETC sensor into the engine and tighten it so that the torque is at 11 Nm (8 ft. lbs.). When the electrical connector is attached to the ETC sensor (3), the air conditioning compressor should be added to the front of the engine and the accessory drive belt installed afterward. As a last step, add more engine coolant if the amount is low.

How to Locate and Replace the Coolant Temperature Sensor on a 5.7L Engine on Dodge Ram 3500?

The ECT sensor is found beneath the air conditioning compressor and mounted into the front section of the cylinder block's water jacket on the 5.7L engine. Partial draining of the coolant system is needed before removing the sensor to protect you from hot, pressurized fluid. Remove the belt around the accessory and make sure to as well as temporarily lift up the air conditioning compressor from the engine's front side so you can unbolt the ECT sensor. Detach the sensor from its electrical connector and take the sensor out from the cylinder block. When installing, treat the sensor threads with thread sealant, secure the sensor in place on the engine and apply a torque of 11 Nm (8 ft. lbs.) while doing so. Replace the electrical connector on the sensor, mount the air conditioning compressor firmly to the front of the engine, add the accessory drive belt and add more coolant if your engine lost any.
