Hello Tahoe fanatics,

I've recently replaced the engine coolant temperature sensor on my Tahoe 5.7 so I thought that I would share this walk-through with you guys! :hands:

1) Disconnect the negative battery cable.

2) Drain the cooling system below the level of the sensor and disengage the sensor electrical connection.

3) Remove the coolant sensor. (refer to this Tahoe cooling diagram <-click 'Get Info', then 'Go' and the diagram will pop up. Sorry for the stupid steps you have to take to get it to display but this was the best diagram I could find :))

-To Install-

4) Install the sensor and engage the electrical connector.

5) Refill the cooling system and connect the negative battery cable.
