The temp sensor on the 2006 Ford Explorer 4.6 is placed in the coolant pipe below the air intake pipe, behind the right cylinder head. It reads the coolant temperature and helps manage engine heat by regulating coolant flow. If the sensor malfunctions, the engine can overheat, risking a pricey head gasket repair. To prevent this, opt for timely sensor replacement, costing around $100.
