The TDC sensor is located behind the timing belt covers. You'll have to basically do a timing belt job to replace it, yes the code is P1361, and the other code is P0401, but I know that, that is for the check engine light.

What is a TDC sensor? TDC stands for "Top Dead Center". Are you referring to the crank sensor?

I don't Have the colors of the wires, but it is located on the lower front part of the engine near the crank pulley. Usually it's a magnetic sensor that reads the exciter on the crank.

You will need to take off the belts to the crank pulley or harmonic balancer. Then take off the pulley. The bolt comes off much easier with an impact wrench. Then you need to take off the timing belt cover. After going to all this work I would replace the timing belt while I am in there. The sensor is located right next to the crankshaft. It will probably have two sensors on it but they are wired together and replaced as a single unit.
