Coolant Sensor - Improved Kit

1982 Buick LeSabre Estate Wagon V8-307 5.0LSECTION Coolant Sensor - Improved Kit
Bulletin 84-6E-38

Date Nov. 86

Ref. No. 85-328-6E
SUBJECT: COOLANT SENSOR KIT

MODELS AFFECTED: 1980-1984 BUICKS EQUIPPED WITH COMPUTER COMMAND CONTROL


Many coolant sensors have been replaced on 1980 to 1984 vehicles as a result of a "Check Engine" light and Code 15. In many cases, the sensor was not defective and the real cause was a poor connection between the sensor and the wire harness connector.

An improved coolant sensor and connector kit, Part No. 10045847, containing all necessary parts, has been released for all 1980-84 Buicks using Computer Command Control. This sensor is used to provide coolant temperature information to the Electronic Control Module (ECM). Separate sensors are used for gauge or warning light operation, or to activate the electric cooling fan, and these are not affected.
