I had a code P0118 they tell me I need to replace two sensors. Cannot seem to find any clear pictures or images to where these sensors are located. Can you help?

The code really did not tell you to change ywo sensors.

It did let you know there is a problem in the circuit, maybe a short, bad connector, possibly sensors, or more.

Just letting you know it might be a simple fix, in which we all hope for! It could go sour too.

I did a little researching, the 'most likely' reason for the code is a defective coolant temperature sensor. This is not set in stone.

I looked it up on a popular auto parts site, the sensor might range from about $16.00 to $39.00 depending on MFG. The connector (if need be) May be as much as $50.00.

I am sure you do not have specialized tooling to do testing and a few bucks might fix you right up and leave the repair shop out of the equation. I have done this kind of guess fix too, it is one of those things you have to weigh out. I did have to give you the overall picture, just in case.

In the diagram below, it is listed on the left side fourth down.

Keep us posted!
