The cylinder head temperature sensor on the 2016 Ford F-150 can be found in the engine bay under the hood, specifically on the passenger side cylinder head near the intake manifold's base. This sensor provides crucial data to the F-150's PCM for controlling the Torque Converter Clutch (TCC) in Ford vehicles. If the cylinder head temperature sensor is malfunctioning, you may experience issues like slow acceleration, stalling during cold starts, low idle speeds, and extended cranking times. The sensor helps adjust fuel delivery in real-time based on engine temperature – when the engine is cold, more fuel is needed to ignite it; conversely, less fuel is required when the engine is warm. Replacing a faulty sensor typically costs between $95 and $100 for parts and labor.

The sensor is located on the passenger side of the engine block, positioned towards the firewall in a challenging spot that is hard to see. To reach it, you'll need to remove the front passenger tire first, followed by the inner plastic lining. You have to navigate above the frame and feel around the back of the engine block to locate it. The sensor has a wire that is wrapped in foil attached to it. Removing the wire may be difficult, but with some effort, you can use a 19-millimeter socket to access it.
