Coolant Temperature Sensor same as Water Temperature Sensor?

[hmmm]

Arre the items stated above the same thing or are they two different parts for the GTi-R?

Thanks .

All i know is that there are 2 different sensors... Your ECU uses one and the temp gauge uses another...

[hmmm]

...

Do you know which is which?

 

[sypher]

Both are NTC type and they are on a pipe on the back of the head the two wire one is for the inj/ign ecu and the single prong/terminal one is for your water temp gauge,

Re: Coolant Temperature Sensor same as Water Temperature Sen

Yes they are the same thing. The stuff in your engine is coolant not water (unless you haven't added any antifreeze)

Yes there are 2 sensors as Rishi says.

 

[hmmm]

..

The Part Number I have here is 22630-51E00. Alternate Part Number is 22630-51E02 and it comes up as Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor.

Does this mean that the same Sensor is used twice in the car? i.e same sensor for IGN/INJ and Water temp gauge? :?

Thanks.

this is where the pipe that holds the sensors is fitted to

and this is the pipe its self, 2 pin sensor is for ECU, 1 pin sensor is for gauge

sorry don't know what part no# are, if nissan parts are at least competant they can order the correct sensor,

There's another temperature sensor (doesn't mention coolant/ecu or anything) which matches the item in the picture. It gives 2 numbers

25080 89903 1090/1092
25080 89907 10/92>

The other sensors are named ie oil/boost etc, but this one isn't so it maybe the other coolant one. :?

 

[sypher]

there is another single terminal sensor for "oil temp" which looks like the one in the pic' but is fitted into the oil filter housing and it has a brown plastic ring around the terminal instead of black which is for coolant.

Stu.

 

[hmmm]

...

I have the Coolant Temperature Sensor in front of me here. It is the 2 pin one but it is blue where as the 1 in your pic is red :?.

Part Number is 22630-51E02.

 

[sypher]

may well be right as they normally are blue, mine is a J reg'

Stu.

 

[Fast Guy]

The number I put above is a single terminal sensor. It's not the oil/boost etc as they are listed as such.

 

[hmmm]

...

So would the one that Fast Guy listed be the Water Gauge Sensor?

 

[sypher]

Honestly cant say as I dont know the no# of the parts, but I can tell you that that two sensors in the pic' are water temperature sensors and the two pin one is for ecu, so if you are having gauge problems and you want to change sensor it is the single terminal one

I would tell nissan parts dep't that you want sensor for gauge and if they fxxx it up, you say thats not what i asked you for!!!

hope i helped (slightly)

Stu.

 

[Fast Guy]

As far as I can tell from the manual, the ecu temp sensor is the 2 pin one.

22630 51E00

 

[hmmm]

...

Yeh that's the one I got.

I'm not having any problems with the gauge.

It's just that I thought I'd change the Coolant Temperature Sensor (Two Pin one as we now know ) as the one in there is pretty old and won't be as accurate.
