3VZE Sensor Block
 
1 Attachment(s)
Hey everyone. I've gotten a lot of help from here before so I thought I'd see if I could get some more help.
I have looked all over the place on here and other forums for specifics, but most either only mentioned
one sensor or showed a picture of the sensors but still only mentioned one or two of the sensors.
I've added a picture of the sensor block from my 1995 Toyota 4Runner 4x4 3VZE A/T.
It would be very much appreciated if someone could provide the correct names or part number for each
of the sensors in the picture by correlating the name/number with the corresponding color of arrow.
Thank you in advance for any and all positive responses.

Thanks for the info, Scope103. I just need to be clear. The ECT is the water temperature sensor which is part #89422-20010 and is supposed be compatible with all 4Runners 89-02 and with 04.
"Temp Sensor for 4WD Auto only" is a bit vague and i am unable to find that particular sensor any where using the name provided, including the link you provided.
The sensor has an odd looking end and unlike the others appears to be a dry type sensor,
I've attached a pic and wonder if you or anyone else may be able to provide a searchable name or part number for that particular sensor.
I tried searching by the numbers on the sensor as well with no luck. From the circular brand logo seen in the picture and reading from left to right around the hex part of the sensor the numbers are:
12P 15 109 I/D

As always; Thanks in advance for the help.

Well, if it was mine, I'd try 89428-14070

So what's going on? Have you determined that ALL of your sensors are bad? Or are you just being prophylactic in your service?

genuinegemini Jul 23, 2016 02:51 AM

Just being prophylactic really and would like to know what this sensor is for, what it does and where I can find one. I just want to replace them all while I have this engine apart.

Apparently, the total power consumed by driving up-hill, on a hot day, with an automatic transmission, in 4wd, with the A/C on, is just too much for the cooling system. So with 4wd automatic only, that temp sensor will cut off the A/C when the coolant temperature gets high enough. http://web.archive.org/web/201102052.../2aircondi.pdf

Thanks, Scope103. I used the term "Engine Coolant Temp. Switch" in a search and found more info about the sensor and where to get it.
I thought I would share a couple of links to where the sensor can be purchased.
Engine Cooling Fan Switch, as Beck/Arnley calls it.
Google says, "WATER TEMP SWITCH Temperature sending switch for the coolant warning lamp. Direct fit OE replacement. Calibrated to application specific settings..."
The Part number is 201-2690, and according to fitment charts is compatible with 1995 Toyota 4Runner SR5 Sport Utility 4-Door 3.0L 2959CC V6 3VZE.
Thanks for the help, Scope103, and hopefully this information will help someone else down the road.

That part number does not apply to the 95 4Runner 4x4 3.0L V6 3VZE, near as I can tell, but thanks for the reply.

If you go to this site http://parts.lakelandtoyota.com/p/__...942889101.html , search for the part number, click on "fitment," it says it works on a 95 4Runner 4x4 3VZE. But you know your rig.

Thanks Genuinegemini for the part number ( I bought beck arnley 201-2690 water temperature switch), I was searching all over the internet trying to find it. I needed one for my 1995 4runner, power to A/C compressor non-existent and I found that this sensor is broken at the bottom which I am fairly certain is my issue. I checked everything else and it is in good working order.
