Crown Victoria - DTC P1299 CHT Sensor (cylinder head temp)

[@PNW_Car_Mods]

This was very well done Chuck. Thanks for doing this. I learned several more things about the system. I don't know why but I find it fascinating that a manufacturer utilized a sensor that can read the metal temperature and not just liquid. In our case on the P7B it was 100% operator error and man induced air pockets. I will say the system works and it does in fact start shutting cylinders down via the fuel injectors. Thankfully due to our own dumbass mistakes we didn't appear to do any damage to the poor old engine. While it only has 70k miles on it if you factor in idle hours is has 300 billion miles on it haha.

Right on Mr. Black, Thanks for the opportunity. I had fun looking this one up. I tried using my $70 hand held scan tool for this video but it not have access to CHT Sensor live data. When you get a chance could you take a minute, and see if your Blue Driver scan tool has CHT Sensor live data for your P7B? -Chuck

I had the same problem as the temperature sensor, MY temperature sensor was in VERY front attach on the head to the driver side, and didn't take the manifold off because the temperature was in a front of the cylinder head, but it was difficult to take out of the cylinder head, but it took me 5 minutes installed it, my 08 grand marquis was overheated so now my grand marquis is running well, grand marquis is never die

Right on BG, Thanks for watching, and the good feedback. Why did you replace the CHT Sensor? What kind of symptoms did you have? -Chuck

[@thebiggerman6975]

I replaced the cyl head temperature sensor because I replaced the fan assembly which had melted connectors at its control module,Just replaced it as a precaution because the P71had a lot of miles,

Hi can you explain how you did that? I dont even know where it is? 06 p71

[@thebiggerman6975]

@@MonteLeeMyPOV hello Monty I change the cylinder head temperature sender on my grandson's 11p71 because it was original equipment been in there a long time he had fan issues so unplugging it makes the fans go to high on the radiator this is a good test of the rest of the system the CHT is just a coolant temp sensor it is behind the alternator I got mine out with a short 12-point wrench and just took my time if you pull the alt it may make it easier I hope this helps you

This is one of the best car-repair videos I've seen. THANK YOU. Fortunately, it turned out my 2001 Grand M. was just low on coolant. Where can I that info you showed printed-out? It's super helpful. Anyscan showed very useful data. Do you happen to know if it shows that info for older cars, like my 2001 Grand M.?

Does this code or the sensor stop the car from starting? If you push gas pedal down it will start. Thank you for any advice

[@PanzerPlatform]

Q: Does this code or the sensor stop the car from starting? A: No. Q: If you push gas pedal down it will start? A: I don’t understand your question. If you fully depress the gas pedal while starting the engine on any fuel injected car it will engage “clear-flood mode” and the car will not start. Q: Thank you for any advice? What is the YEAR / MAKE / MODEL of your car? Are you currently experiencing a malfunction? Can you describe the malfunction so I can understand? -Chuck

[@TheBarth79]

i have a question but not in this subject.TPMS .I bought a new set of tires and one from these sensor's is damaged(i know with one,this alloy was distorted and after repair -TPSM fault on dash board ),so i need to buy new set of sensor's.I think these ones are orginal bicouse they are mounted on rimm opposite to valve.What kind of maker should i look for?In Poland i can buy only sensors in valve's.

[@PanzerPlatform]

Right on Barth, Thanks for watching, and the great question. I only have one video on TPMS; kzbin.info/www/bejne/rnPbkoSopMZ6sKs - My service literature lists a part number for the TPMS Sensor for all Panther Cars 2008 - 2011 as part# 6F2Z-1A189-A. The operating frequency is 315MHz. My 2010 MGM still has the original TPMS sensors, and are functioning properly. I have not had to replace them yet. As far as brand, or manufacturer of replacement valve stem type TPMS, I don't have a recommendation. I searched the part number (6F2Z-1A189-A) in Amazon, and it looks like 4 sensors cost around $40-$90. Sorry, I’m no help. -Chuck

[@TheBarth79]

@@PanzerPlatform Thank you anyway.

[@JohnSmith-xx1lx]

Great video, however how come no one ever shows how to test the sensor signal wire from the CHT sensor? Aka gray wire with red line on it?

[@PanzerPlatform]

Hello, Thanks for watching. "how come no one ever shows how to test the sensor signal wire from the CHT sensor?" Because there is no "signal" wire on the CHT Sensor. It's just a basic 2-Wire resistor, not a 3-Wire like a potentiometer. Are you currently experiencing a malfunction. -Chuck

[@MrWontstopthefunk]

Isn’t there a coolant temp sensors and a head sensor? I heard they both go separate places? I have a 2003 grand marquis and the fan is always running even when car is cold. Gauge seems to be properly working, seems to work properly VIA “ect” reading on scanner. Ac is off.

@@PanzerPlatformhey, Chuck, thanks for the quick reply. I was still watching the video lol. I just wanna say real quick man I appreciate all your stuff and when I see your name pop up I know I’m about to get some good solid knowledge. Just subscribed. I’m currently transitioning to a recently acquired 2003 Grand marquis. Very questionable on its history. Very low rust so that’s great, but I think it might have had a hard life. Only 95k on her now. Trying to get her back into shape. I had a 2004, very nice and rare, deep blue outside, all black leather inside, sunroof, digi dash, And I had a lot of money into her. I had to swerve to avoid a head on collision and hit a telephone pole and a tree at the same time, so she’s gone. I’m lucky to be alive. Anywho, I currently have no current/pending/permanent DTC codes. I’ve been working on flushing the coolant as it was very mucky and had metal flakes in it which appear to be aluminum. I have a bad feeling someone put head gasket in a bottle in it at some point, praying I don’t have a head gasket issue and it was an Ill attempt to avoid replacing the intake manifold which has been replaced. Anywho, any other ideas on where to go from here? Would love to talk to ya sometime by the way lol

My 02 gm Ls temp will shoot Hot and then go back to normal. And also sometimes when driving the engine will turn off while my car is still on. I have the check engine light p1299. I’ve already changed both cht sensor and the sensor behind the alternator. Changed my thermostat and I’ve flushed my coolant and replaced it. Idk what to do man.

[@PanzerPlatform]

Hello, Sounds like a corrosion / wiring issue. Check for loose battery terminals. Check all chassis grounds. Check all grounds on PCM. Connect a scan tool, and monitor live data of all temp sensors while driving hopefully you can recreate the issue, and record the live data. -Chuck
