The 2016 Ford F-150's cylinder head temperature sensor is located under the hood in the engine bay. It's placed on the passenger side cylinder head, near the base of the intake manifold. The PCM of the F-150 uses information gathered from this sensor to control the Torque Converter Clutch (TCC) operation in Ford vehicles. If the CHT is failing You will notice difficulty accelerating, stalling from a cold start, low idle speeds and long cranking times. Examples of how the CHT operates in real time include starting conditions. If the engine is cold it needs more fuel to fire, if it warm, less fuel is required. The CHT monitors these conditions and fuel delivery is directed by the PCM. The cost to replace a bad sensor is between $95-$100 in parts and labor.

The sensor is on the passenger side of the engine block. Its in a tough spot, its facing the firewall and you really can't even get an eye on it. To access it take the front passenger tire off then the inner plastic lining. You have to reach up over the frame and feel on the back side of engine block. It has a wire wrapped on foil attached. Once wire is off getting 19 millimeter socket won't be easy but can be done.
