2001 sr5 v-6 auto (2wd). where is the sensor for the temp gauge?

On a V6 its up by the radiator hose under the frame well.. I don't think it would be different location on a 2wd then it is on a 4WD

You have to pull the pressured fuel line off to get it out... Be careful not to loose the compression washers..and that line will be under fuel rail pressure.

This is the sensor for the computer. The gauge sensor is back near the firewall

The one for the temp gauge is on the drivers side rear there is a video of a guy rebuilding a 3.4 in a blue tacoma you see it in that video. Hard to get to but can be done with a bit of effort.:guitar2:

On the V6, there are actually two.

The one in the picture is actually for the ECU.

The one for the gauge is on the back of the block, a SINGLE wire, with a spade connector in white plastic, driver side.

I'll jack it up and try to see it from the bottom then?

Thanks for the info :)
 
No.

It’s on the top of the driver side head, against the firewall.

Did a fair amount of looking today... Master cly is in the way, big time.

I assume you mean protruding from the left cyl head? I don't see anything white in there at all...?
 
Happen to have a pic of the manifold off the truck so you can see where it is- red/yellow arrow, alongside a heater hose. If your connector is like mine it's more of a yellowed aged used to be white. Of course it's not going to be that open, there are a few hoses back there.

Thank you sir! Now to see if I can get my hand in there...:lol:
 
Found it !!

Also found the wire was pulled out of the spade lug. No way to deal with that where the thing is...

I'll be having the valves set. That will be wen the temp gauge comes back to life.
