Where is the Coolant Temperature Sensor located and How to its removal and installation on Pontiac G6?

On four-cylinder models the ECT sensor is mounted on the thermostat housing in the left rear corner of the cylinder head. Start by pulling off the radiator cap and then using water pump to 'pull a vacuum' on the cooling system, to get the level below that of the ECT sensor. Pull off the electrical connector of the ECT sensor and then using a deep socket, extension and ratchet, unscrew and pull out the ECT sensor. When it is time to install the new sensor, ensure that the threads are coated with Teflon tape so that they do not leak. After that the installation process is vice versa as the removal process and make sure that the sensor is tightened to the next torque value. Last of all, add in the refrigirant of the cooling system. For 3.5L and 3.9L V6 models, the ECT sensor is located in the right-front area of the engine, right end of the front cylinder head. The process is similar: flush it with antifreeze, pull the electrical connection, pull the sensor from its casing and remove it, thread the new one with teflon tape, reinstall it and tighten then replace the fluid. On most 3.6L V6 models, the ECT sensor is attached right over the number 4 exhaust port at the front side of the engine. Release the connection of the electrical connector, remove the sensor while dealing with the coolant leakage, if there is any, thread the Teflon tape around the threads and replace the sensor tightly, then check of coolant leakage.

How to replace the Coolant Temperature Sensor on Pontiac Vibe?

The engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor is a thermistor that is a resistor that changes its resistance value based on temperature changes. This change in resistance directly affects the voltage signal from the sensor to the PCM. The sensor's resistance values increase when the temperature decreases, but they decrease as the sensor temperature increases. Any problem in the ECT sensor circuit will set a diagnostic trouble code (DTC). To replace this sensor, make sure that you turn off the ignition key and drain about one gallon from the cooling system. The electrical connector should be disconnected before carefully unscrewing the sensor. Wrap Teflon sealing tape around the new sensor's threads so as to avoid leakage and thread corrosion. Installation is simply opposite of removal. Nevertheless, pay attention to how you handle coolant sensors because if damaged, it will affect normal operation of entire fuel injection system. Finally, add coolant as required.
