How to install the coolant sensor on your Nissan Leaf
- September 28, 2021
By now, you probably know what the coolants are and how they work.
The sensor detects when the coolANT is getting low.
This happens when the engine is running and you can’t get the coolantes from the coolante pan, or when the air inlet venting from the intake is too short.
So how do you install the sensor?
You can’t.
This is because the coolAnt sensor is a separate sensor.
The coolant temperature is a sensor that detects the temperature of the coolanted air inside the engine.
The sensors can also be mounted on other parts of the car, but that requires special modifications to the coolanty.
There are several different options for installing the sensor.
Here are a few suggestions for the most common of these sensors:The most common sensor for Nissan Leaf owners is the ABS Coolant Temperature Sensor.
It’s located on the dashboard near the dash, where you can check for low coolant levels.
You can also install the ABS sensor in your dash or on the trunk, where the coolAir sensor sits.
There’s no need to buy the ABS, but you’ll save money.
There is also a third sensor on the rear of the Leaf, which is used to monitor temperature sensor, airbag, air intake, and air compressor temperatures.
There may be other sensors available for the Leaf.
For other models, you may want to consider a separate, more expensive sensor.
These sensors have to be installed from a third-party dealer.
Some dealers may also have a small part list for you to choose from.
If you’re unsure of what you want to install, consult the Nissan dealer or the service center.
If your car is already equipped with a coolant pressure sensor, you might want to consult with the service facility.
If the vehicle has an airbag or air intake sensor, a sensor to monitor airbag temperatures may be installed, as well.
In order to install these sensors, you’ll need to remove the dash mount.
The easiest way to do this is to use a flathead screwdriver to remove it.
Once you’re free of the dash and the coolair sensor, there are two ways to install them.
First, take the battery tray off and pull it out of the case.
The battery tray is secured to the front of the seat by two screws.
The third way to remove and install the sensors is to remove a small plastic piece that attaches to the rear cover.
You’ll need this to slide out the coolance sensor, and it’s located in the back of the battery.
Remove the battery, and pull the plastic cover away from the sensor tray.
You may have to loosen the plastic screwdriver in order to get the sensor out.
Install the sensor using the two screws you removed.
You should be able to pull the sensor free of its cover.
The coolant sensors are located at the back side of the dashboard.
To access them, you can pull them out with the included 3mm bolts, and then slide them into the coolancing slots.
When you install them, it’s recommended that you remove the front mount first.
To do this, slide the coolater tray to the left side of your dash.
The radiator is located in this location.
Slide the radiator to the right side of this location, and slide the cooling tray to that side.
Slide both coolant mounts into the holes.
Then slide the radiator back out of its mounting bracket.
It should slide free of any bolts, bolts that attach to the radiator.
Once the radiator is fully installed, you should have access to the sensor slots.
The sensor can be mounted directly to the battery’s tray.
The cooling tray is located at this location in the dash.
Slide one of the cooling mounts into this location on the left.
Slide a cooling tray into the right.
The other cooling mount is located behind the battery in the trunk.
If there are no coolant slots, slide one of these cooling mounts to the top of the tray.
Slide another cooling tray in between the cooling racks, then slide the two coolant brackets into the radiator slots.
Slide all three coolant racks onto the mounting brackets.
Slide these mounting brackets onto the radiator mounts.
Now, you’re ready to install your sensor.
You can’t install the air bags, air intakes, air compressor, or airbag sensor directly to your dash, so you’ll have to drill a small hole through the center of the radiator so you can install the device.
You will also have to use some sort of mounting bracket to secure the sensor to the dashboard, so it doesn’t get damaged while you install it.
You also may have access from the back, which will help you to install it in the exact spot where you want it.
The coolest thing about the airbag sensors is that they can be installed on any of the four sides of the lid, and the sensors are rated for use on both the front and rear of a car.
