Need guidance in finding the exact location for the coolant sensor and the steps for where the plug is that I need to remove to drain the coolant. I need to change the sensor and would prefer to do it myself. So if there are step by step instructions that might also help. Thank you.

I am attaching the location view and process on how to drain the coolant.

Also, here are some guides that will help with more general information:

Please run through this material and let us know if you have other questions. Thanks
