Hello everyone thanks for taking your time to read this hope someone can answer my question? Where can i find the temperature sending unit in my 2000 honda accord lx I've changed the temperature sensor under the distributor but the code still appears and at autozone and o'rielys they have both sensors pop up that goes to the car i cant seem to find the temperature sending unit though. If anyone could let me know where i could find it i would apreciate it very much thank you

 

What engine size - 4 or 6 cyl?

What is the actual code you are getting - "Pxxxx"?

 

Thanks for the reply the code i dont remember. The code gave me these parts numbers so i bought the sensors i replaced the temperature sensor but i cant find the temperature sending unit and i had the code erased but the car is a 2000 honda accord lx 2.3 FI SOHC VTEC 4 CYLINDER

Also the part number i bought from autozone is part #TU121

 

So if the code is gone, why are you still replacing parts?

For the''00 an up Accord's, there is no sending unit/sensor for just the temp gauge. There is an "ECT" sensor to the PCM and the PCM drives the temp gauge. The "ECT" sensor should be a two pin sensor on the end of the head/under the dist.

Again, if the code is gone - hasn't returned, the temp gauge is working properly and you have this new sensor you were sold sitting in you hand....return it and get your money back and enjoy driving your car.

For the 98-99 Accord's, there WAS a single wire/pin type of sensor/sending unit that did nothing but "drive" the temp gauge in the car. It would be located ~2 inches forward from the two wire "ECT" sensor.

Not sure if I'm confusing you or helping ....trust me I'm trying to help but at the same time be very clear to anyone that might run across this in the future
