Coolant Temperature Sensor

[georgina12]

I have a check engine light on (2002 Hyundai Accent 1.6 engine) and the Zone tells me it is a Coolant Temperature Sensor. However, they could not find where the part is located on the engine, anyone have an idea.

I have the same car and HAD the same problem. My dealer found the part and fixed it. You can drive with the problem without experiencing any difficulties though. It took them a long time to get it in. The problem came up at:
24,000 miles
$0--covered under 5 year warrenty
