Hello
you will have to look on the drivers side of the engine and it will look like a small round button type thing sticking out of the engine with a wire going to it(outer area has a hex shape to it for a wrench to go onto) it my also have a cover on it so look closely until you find it.use a pan of some sort to catch the coolant when you remove it good luck

SOURCE: 1994 Chevy Silverado temperature guage shows hot

Flushing the radiator, replacing the radiator cap, adding new coolant, replacing the sensors and a new thermostat solved the problem. Probably didn't need to do all of these things - but since we just purchased the truck, and given the fact that is probably hadn't been done in a while, we chose to do all of these things (which really didn't cost a whole lot), it's running like a charm now.

Where is the temperature sensor located in the 2006 chevy equinox

Since the coolant temperature sensor is an input device for the engine control computer, and it is located somewhere on the engine, don't you think it would be prudent to mention WHICH ENGINE your 2005 (or is it 2006?) Chevrolet Equinox is equipped with?

I would be happy to help you if I knew for sure what we were talking about...
