2016 Ford Explorer Cylinder Head Temperature Sensors

If you’re cruising around in a 2016 Ford Explorer, keeping an eye on your Cylinder Head Temperature (CHT) sensors is key to ensuring your ride runs smoothly and efficiently. These sensors help to monitor your engine’s temperature, but like any part, they can wear out over time. To maintain them, make sure to regularly check for any signs of corrosion or loose connections, and remember to clean any dirt or debris that might interfere with their readings. A failing CHT sensor might show up with some telltale symptoms like erratic temperature readings, engine performance issues, or even a check engine light that just won’t quit. Keeping a close watch on these indicators can save you from bigger headaches down the road!
