Hi, I'm Don from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and next time you need parts for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.
In this video, we're going to replace the ECT or Engine Coolant Temperature sensor on this 2000 Cavalier with the four-cylinder motor, the same as a lot of GM vehicles with this four-cylinder engine. The only tool you'll need is a 3/4 inch, deep socket and a ratchet.
The ECT sensor is located right behind the alternator on the passenger side. There is just a little clip. Reach in and unplug the sensor. Now, you just need a 3/4 inch socket, a deep socket is best. Start removing the sensor. The sensor is a little bit below the top of the water. So, you're going to get just a little bit of water that comes out. You want to have a catch pan underneath. As you'll see, Don will be ready with the new sensor right next to it. As he pulls out the old sensor, some water comes out.
He puts the new sensor right in. You can see it's the correct sensor; it matches the original. You want to tighten the new sensor up to about 20 to 25 foot pounds, tight, but not too tight.
As you saw, we lost a little bit of fluid, so once you're done with the repair, drive the vehicle a little bit, check the coolant, and add as necessary. Once you've got it tightened up, plug it back in and you should be all set.

In this video we're going to show you how to replace the engine coolant temperature sensor on this 1996 Chevy Tahoe. It's the same part and process on these Tahoes from '95 to 2000. The items you'll need for this are a new coolant temperature sensor from 1AAuto.com, a 19 mm socket and ratchet, a pair of pliers, jack and jack stands, drip pan, coolant, a funnel, and a flat blade screwdriver.
Start off by removing your radiator cap. Then raise your vehicle and right here is the drain plug. You want to turn this and the coolant will start pouring. Using a pair of pliers twist that drain plug. Make sure your drip pan is underneath and let your coolant drain out. Your temperature sensor is located right here. Just pry down on the tab and pull up on the harness. Using a 19 mm socket and ratchet remove the sensor. On the right is the old temperature sensor.
On the left is the new one from 1A Auto. You can see that they're identical and they're going to fit exactly the same. Put your new temperature sensor into place and twist it in. You want to tighten this until it's nice and firm. It doesn't actually have to be seated to the top of the threading. Reconnect your harness. Tighten up your drain plug and then, using a funnel, replace the coolant and replace your radiator cap and you're all set.
