Need to find the location of the ect ( engine coolant temperature ) sensor on a 1999 toyota camry V6

I have codes P0125 and P1135 come up. I know where P1135 is (it is in the back of the engine), but i am going to try and replace the ECT sensor first to see if that corrects the problem. I need to first figure out where the ECT sensor is... If you can be very detailed in your answer that would be MOST appreciative. PLEASE REMEMBER THIS IS A V6 - not a 4 cylinder. Thank you. Thank you for all your help!

SOURCE: E-Check Light P0125 and

Air/Fuel Sensors are mounted upstream of the catalytic converter. They are located on the exhaust manifold side of the catalytic converter (pre-converter - Sensors 1). Oxygen Sensors are mounted downstream of the catalytic converter (post-converter - Sensors 2). The catalytic converter has two chambers (left and right). Bank1 is left, drivers side. Bank2 is right, passengers side. The Bank2 Sensor1 sensor (Air/Fuel Sensor) is the one located on the 'right and ahead' of the converter. The PowerTrain Control Module (PCM) is reporting that the heater or circuit ( wiring / plug-in) of the sensor is malfunctioning.

1999 toyota camry shows code p0125 and also p1135 how do i fix it

code p 0125 refers to insufficient cioolant temperature for closed loop fuel control===causes ---wiring--cooling system---coolant thermostat--- ECT sensor --- ECM
first place to check the level in the radiator
code p 1135 refers to air/fuel sensor heater circuit response ( bank1 sensor 1)
replace the HO2S ( heated oxygen sensor bank 1 in the exhaust manifold before the cat converter
it is possible that the faulty HO2S is triggering the first code so I wpuld consider changing it then resetting the ECM then running for 15 minutes then reading the codes again

Where is the ECT sensor located on my 1999 Toyota Camry XLE 6 Cylinder?

On the 1MZ alloy block V6 it is on top between the engine coolant filler cap (not the one on the radiator) and the dogbone engine steady bar.

PO128 code in my car how can i get it off

This means that the engine's PCM detected that the engine has not reached the required temperature level within a specified amount of time after starting the engine. The intent of the P0128 code is to indicate a faulty thermostat. Similar codes: P0125
In determining the engine did not reach a "normal" temperature, it takes into account the length of time the vehicle has been running, the intake air temperature (IAT) sensor reading, the engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor reading, and the speed of the vehicle.
Symptoms You will likely not notice any drivability problems other than the MIL illumination.
Causes A code P0128 may mean that one or more of the following has happened:
  • Low engine coolant level
  • Leaking or stuck open thermostat
  • Faulty cooling fan (running too much)
  • Faulty coolant temperature (ECT) sensor
  • Faulty intake air temperature (IAT) sensor
Possible Solutions Past experience indicates that the most likely solution is to replace the thermostat. However here are some suggestions on troubleshooting and repairing a P0128 OBD-II code:
  • Verify coolant strength & level
  • Verify proper cooling fan operation (check if it's running more than it should). Replace if necessary.
  • Verify proper engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor operation, replace if necessary.
  • Verify proper intake air temperature (IAT) sensor operation, replace if necessary.
  • If the above items check out good, replace the thermostat
  • If Nissan vehicle, check for Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs), as the ECM may need to be reprogrammed to correct the P0128 code

1999 toyota camry 6 cylinder check engine trouble codes

That's a lot going on! If those are real errors, you could spend some time and money fixing it. May not be too hard, but if you have an electrical gremlin somwe here causing the problem, then that could be a pain to fix.
If clearing the code for inspection is your goal, you could look into an OBD2 bluetooth scanner to work with your phone. I use one along with Torque for Android. I can check and clear codes with my phone, but I do 95% of my maintenance myself.

1999 Camry PO125, P1130, P1135. What should I do? Dont want to more alot into it. It's my sons car at school.

Hello. Sorry to hear about your troubles.

The P-0125 DTC:
Specifically, the "coolant temperature is too low for closed loop operation", This indicates a partially stuck open thermostat; the coolant is not reaching the optimal temperature to allow the computer to use the various sensors on the engine; it is staying in a pre-programmed or defult mde.

The P1130 and the P1135 indicates a bad Air-Fuel sensor.
On a 4 cylinder, this would be the one on the exhaust manifold.

Replace the thermostat and the air/fuel sensor. Try to use Toyota parts; it has been shown that 'aftermarket' sensors do not perform very well in Toyotas. If you buy a 'generic' sensor, the code may remain, and you problm will not be fixed.

Thanks for choosing FixYa for asistance.
