In the 2006 Hyundai Sonata, the coolant temperature sensor is positioned right behind the coolant pipe. Its main job is to gauge the temperature of the coolant within the pipe, which informs the engine on the ideal operating temperature. If the sensor malfunctions, you may observe the car running hot and potentially overheating. Overheating poses a risk of damaging the head gasket, which could result in a costly repair. Replacing the sensor costs around $300, a much more budget-friendly option compared to the several thousand dollars required for a head gasket replacement.
