I was wondering if anyone on here could help me locate the Coolant Temperature Sensor on my Acadia? I can’t seem to find anything on google.

If it’s a V6 engine…it’s just a few inches above the oil filter on the side of the engine block. ![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/cartalk/original/2X/8/8ed5c938ba0decd7769e237170bc4f3cbb0f4577.jpg)

In an ideal world manufacturers would put sensor location information like that in the owner’s manual. There’s only a half dozen or so sensors that attach to the engine, so it wouldn’t be a big burden to include a diagram of their location. Unfortunately, not an ideal world.

What codes are you getting? These engines have timing chains issues that will often set a camshaft and crankshaft code. Replacing the sensor does not fix the problem.
