Recently began getting a bothersome CEL (check engine light) illuminated and throwing a P0115 code.

I cleared the code several times but it always came back on. I finally relented and purchased a new sensor Part # 0005425118 from Auto Parts at AutohausAZ - OEM Auto Parts - Discount Replacement Parts, Resources and Car Care Tips at a cost of $10.50.
I waited for a mild day weather wise and today was it so I proceeded.
Location of the sensor is on the front of the motor under the front cover.

The sensor is only held in by a simple horse shoe clip which must be pried out to release the sensor. The horseshoe clip applies pressure to the sensor collar which forces the o-ring on the stem to seal. Unplug the connector by pressing in on the tab (one side only)to release the lock,(of course my tab broke off!) remove the connector and then pry out the horse shoe clip and remove the sensor.

Out comes the clip, (reverse for re installation of new sensor).

And finally, clear code and hope code does not reappear.

Finally, this is a very easy repair. There will be little to very little coolant loss so no need to do any draining of system. I just put a piece of cloth under the hole to absorb the very little drainage.
Start motor and let warm up to check for leaks. So far so good!! :thumbsup:
