I just double checked the truck again out of 78 sensor on the truck that Ford has listed. There are only two that say they are coolant sensors. One is the OE Call Out number and the other is the DY- number bother are the same part and are at the pan.

I just triple checked and typed in Temperature sensor and came up with nine four of which have the same Call out #'s

Try this....
Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor
5.4L 3V V8 ; Used As Coolant Temp Sensor And Engine Oil Temp Sensor On Some Applications

Juan214 I do agree with what you are posting However answer me this

How does the sensor that is mounted in the oil pan of the picture you posted show ENGINE COOLANT TEMP

That sensor can be used for oil or water temps when mounted in the oil pan it measures OIL TEMP BUT when mount in the Cylinder Head it gives coolant temp

PLEASE GO BACK AND READ POST#2 which gives the location of the coolant sensor
Right hand side just below rear of the Valve cover And being its a CYLINDER HEAD SENSOR that should tell you its mounted in the CYLINDER HEAD

As noted by both on some applications. I would say if not found at the pan then look at the head I doubt both but who knows. I believe before 03 or 05 it was on the drivers side on the block under the plenum behind the water pump and the alternator may have been need to be removed.

Where it was located on a 03 or 05 doesn't mean anything as to where it is located on his 2011

I can agree with your reply.

And we may never know until the OP reports back that he found the location

See if you can find a 2 wire connector in that area

This it what the manual has to say about getting to the CHT sensor


Removal and Installation


Remove the intake manifold. For additional information, refer to Section 303-01 .

Disconnect the Cylinder Head Temperature (CHT) sensor electrical connector.

Remove the CHT sensor and discard.

To install, tighten to 10 Nm (89 lb-in).

Coat the new CHT sensor threads with high temperature nickel anti-seize lubricant prior to installation.

To install, reverse the removal procedure.


If the wife does take it to the shop Make sure she asks them to let her know where it is located
