How to disconnect and remove the Cylinder Head Temperature Sensor on the Ford Taurus?

Disconnect the cable from the negative battery terminal. Remove the air filter outlet duct, then disconnect the charge air cooler inlet pipe. Pull back the insulator (if equipped) from the CHT sensor electrical connector and disconnect the connector. Unscrew the CHT sensor from the cylinder head. When installing the CHT sensor, tighten it to the specified torque, with installation being the reverse of removal. For 3.5L V6 models, the CHT sensor is located in the rear cylinder head below the intake manifold. Disconnect the cable from the negative battery terminal again. Remove the lower intake manifold and disconnect the CHT sensor electrical connector. Unscrew and remove the CHT sensor, then reinstall it by reversing the removal process and tightening the sensor to the specified torque.

Ford Taurus Cylinder Head Temperature Sensor

The Ford Taurus Cylinder Head Temperature Sensor is a part of the engine that measures the cylinder head temperature for the computer to prevent overheating and combustion process failure. The Cylinder Head Temperature Sensor receives a voltage signal from the powertrain control module to convert metal temperature into a voltage signal, which causes changes in fuel delivery, spark timing, cooling fans, and dashboard warning. The PCM has assistance in balancing the air and fuel via device friction that easily cold starts and then leans the mixture as temperatures begin to rise to enhance emissions and give Ford engines extra safety. Ford's Cylinder Head Temperature Sensor reads head metal directly for greater speed and accuracy than earlier coolant probes. On performance-oriented Taurus trims, the Cylinder Head Temperature Sensor additionally helps in knock control strategy. The Taurus models from the early 1990s employed a basic two-wire thermistor. Following this, more advanced units were fitted with faster circuitry, but the underlying sensing principle remained unchanged. The only differences were in the rate of response and connector type. The Cylinder Head Temperature Sensor is essential to every Ford Taurus; its intent is to avoid detonation and prolong engine life.
