HELP with sensor and wire PLEASE. . SOLVED

[TomH]

ECU has it’s own seperate sensor.

I stand corrected. I was two sensors off - I replaced the other one.

No, other than that gauge it affects nothing.

Except that it's directly above the harness connector for the NSS, which is the input for the transmission indicator in the instrument cluster. I had coolant from the lower hose (the short one that couples the hardline to the block) spray all over that connector last year and it's taken me until last month to get it clean and working properly again. Two cans of plastic safe connector cleaner and several replacement terminals later, I now have working dash lights again, including D.

I think the OP and I were still discussing the 1-wire sensor at the front of the head that runs the temp gauge and the effects of it being unplugged. I definitely wasn’t referring to the PHH.

Thank you all for your input. Bought new sensor and plug from dealership. Installed sensor today and jerry rigged the wire to get a temp reading until the plug comes Tuesday.
